PROGRAM SCHEDULE
Program Overview and Fees
- My current fee (depending on library/organization funding) is $250 to $300 for a 90-minute PowerPoint program, which includes time for a "Q & A" session after the main presentation is over.
- There are no reduced rates for a series or for multiple bookings with the same organization.
- Programs are presented via ZOOM from my Portland, Oregon office.
- I allow programs to be recorded for library/internal organization use only; however, "Fair Use" guidelines as outlined by the American Library Association and the Library of Congress must be followed.
- Participants should be kept muted during the presentation but may ask questions during the Q & A session at the end. (Chat or Raised Hand)
