[OPLINLIST] Question about a Notary Public at the Library

[Ellen Smith]

​All but one of our Adult Services  staff members are notaries. Our Library, too, pays for the fees and supplies. We do not charge for the service.

We average about 75 documents every month.

We have 22 Public Notaries in our library system.  The service is especially popular in our smaller branches.  The library reimburses staff for the costs of registration, paperwork, and purchasing stamps.  No charge for the service.

There are fewer and fewer places that offer Notary service.  Our Court House first suggested that we “do it” about 20 years ago.  It is promoted as one of our services offered at all locations.

We are pretty much the same as Westerville - No written policy, reimburse staff for expenses and the library purchases the stamp, no policy about notary use on personal time,  we do not advertise this service.
We have used the Columbus Bar Association for questions and purchase their Notary booklet.

Thanks

Subject: [OPLINLIST] Question about a Notary Public at the Library

We are considering having a staff person become a Notary Public and have
questions for those libraries that offer this service.  Do you have a
written policy for this service?  Did the library pay any fees and/or
purchase the supplies for the Notary?  Do you have a policy about the staff
person providing this service on personal time?

Thank you in advance for any advice,
Gloria Malone
