Laura, did you even read my complete post? I was quite explicit that I don't want a user-fee either.
But what about exploring some sort of "suggested contribution" program ....- let's say $1.00 per book.
A volunteer fee is when a specific value is placed on an item. It can be called a contribution, but it is a fee.
However, even if there were no value and it was a contribution, I would not support soliciting for funds at the point of check out in public libraries.
