Maryland Room Charges to Out-of-State Researchers

Out-of-state researchers who do not hold an FCPL library card in good standing are charged a nonrefundable $20.00 base fee paid in advance for remote research performed by the Maryland Room staff. This fee includes up to 2 hours of research, up to 5 photocopies and postage. Additional research is charged at $10.00 per hour or portion of an hour, and additional photocopies at the current standard FCPL photocopy rate. The fee is payable by cash, money order or check, made out to FCPL. The fee does not apply to Linton or Lighter obituary photocopying requests.
