Waiting Under The Fee Notices
I chose the chair near the bulletin board and scanned the notices. A laminated sheet showed fees for certified copies, plain copies, and rush retrievals.
Another flyer explained redaction rules for personal identifiers on older files. Two men in suits debated microfilm reels while a woman filled out a request form beside me.
I counted the bills in my envelope and checked for quarters. The speaker clicked once, and a new number appeared at the top of the display.
