ethical question

[Mary Ludwick <ludwick@SWBELL.NET>]

Dawn asked:
As a public librarian, I am paid to provide information to the residents
of
my community for free. Is it ethical for me to do this?  I really need
to
find a way to earn a little extra cash right now.

>>>>>>>>>>>
My response:
       If a reading,  math,  or music (or any subject matter) teacher
tutors after hours at a location other than the school that  person
charges a fee.  No one thinks that is unethical.  Why would your
situation be different?  Idea: could you get the local senior citizen
center or park and recreation dept. pay you and the classes be held
there?  I know people in our community would pay for you to come to
their home for private lessons.
