We don't hesitate to drop things when enrollment indicates it is *so over*.  Right 
now, with economy sagging and job hunting increasing, the software classes are 
big again (packed, in fact).  We'll try something new once or twice ..and see if it 
does/doesn't fly.
   We too talked about the modest fee, to hire outside teachers. Patrons were 
enthusiastic, some saying they'd even go to $5 ...but, they support us with their tax 
dollars.  Classes and programs are still free.
   One thing we have done, from time to time, is limit people to two enrollments in 
a class, after which they are wait-listed (should a seat open up).  Some seniors 
make rather a social outing of this whole thing ... which is okay unless/until other 
folks are getting shut out of a class.
