?Public Library User Fees is a careful examination of the question of charging fees, written from the perspective of public finance and time-allocation theory. These are complex perspectives, but Van House manages to do a good job of presenting the information in an understandable manner. ...

She gives us sensible information to help deal with a difficult question.?-Wilson Library Bulletin
