[Publib] The annual IRS whine

[Bruce Bumbalough]

Yes.    As long we spend money for computers and software and printers
and as long as we encourage people to use the library for those
purposes, we are their office.   We have a fax machine here at Grapevine
Public that is used by the public at a lower cost than they can pay at
the kinko's down the street.   

Its part of the job.

I think that providing the tax forms could be considered to be "meeting
the information needs" of the community.

What I don't get is why patrons/users/customers/clients/and or
borrowers  expect us to have a fax machine available for their use.

When we had a public typewriter (which we actually still have) we were
the people's university. Are we now the people's office?
