An alternative way of charging is to be introduced in Birmingham Central Library from April. This is to charge for a day permit, without restriction on the number of images. Details have not quite been finalised, but we're provisionally setting the charge as £2.00 per day. Anyone using a digital camera already has to sign a copyright etc. declaration and keep a log of items photographed; each item must be approved by a member of library staff before being photographed.
