<p class="MsoPlainText">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?
