What: A revised fee schedule for use of images from the library's local history collection, changing from a news production use category to general image use.
Where it stands: Discussed but not voted on at the October 21 meeting.
Next: Staff expect the board to approve it at the November meeting, with the request form to match the policy.
Details
Draft fees discussed: about 10 dollars for a single image and 25 dollars for multiple images, plus handling, the same for digital or print.
Members raised a sliding scale for very large multiple-image requests, covering print and handling costs, limits on modifying or AI-altering images, copyright language on the request form, treatment of town agencies, and comparison with other archives and museums.
