[Publib] Books by Mail?

[Gair Helfrich]

Hi Katie,
 
Anyone in our tax base is able to take advantage of our books by mail program. Of course, the vast majority of them are seniors, but the program is not limited to that age group. We haven't targeted the group you're talking about but we might now that you suggested it!

I'm posting on behalf of our head of adult services:  Does anyone offer a books-by-mail service that is NOT geared toward elderly?  Of course elderly could take advantage of such a service as well, but we're specifically looking to see if anyone is targeting the "busy professional" - the person who would like to receive and return books by mail.  
 
Do you charge for this service?  How much?  Do you consider it successful?  Why or why not?  Any other thoughts, comments, helpful suggestions?  Thanks.
