[Michlib-l] Library space rental question

[John Clexton]

We do charge $10.00 for profit groups and free for nonprofit groups. We
have a Smart TV as a projector and we do not charge extra for those
services.  We usually have increased requests because of the extra tools
that we provide. We do have staff make sure set up is complete and
equipment is up and running.
 However, the most problem we ever run into is everyone's laptop is
different so as long as there are reminders that people renting should come
in early to test equipment before the program is really what is needed.
Also, having a staff member as a key point that is knowledgeable in that
area as a bonus.
