Here’s One From The Seattle Times on those piles of wasted paper and unclaimed printouts we find at the public-access computers. The Seattle Public Library system is subsidizing printing and copying costs to the tune of $60,000 a year. So, come fall, they will start charging patrons for printouts.
Library staffers don’t yet know how much they will charge, but they’ve recommended a 10-cent-per-page cost. Printing from the library catalog still would be free, and photocopies would remain 15 cents per page.
