[Publib] The Cashless Library

[Dunlap, Abbey]

I'd be very careful with this as I believe that it falls under the federal law that you must accept cash as legal tender.  There is a mall in our area that recently got in deep doggie doodoo with the Feds because they wouldn't accept cash as tender for gift cards that apply to the entire mall.

I wish I could point to a source to back me up on this and will look for one later-in the meantime, does anyone know of one off the top of their head?

Good Afternoon everyone,

My boss is very interested in having both of our branches become "cashless". He wants all transactions to be with plastic or through funds placed on library cards. Has anyone done this?

Pros & cons would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
