KENDALLVILLE â The Kendallville Public Library board of trustees adopted a new policy that will provide notary public services to patrons at its meeting Tuesday night. Director Katie Mullins said a part-time staff member has agreed to become a notary public at the Kendallville location. Notary services will be walk-in if the staff member is working and by appointment at other times. A notary public is a person appointed by state government with the primary role of witness when important documents are signed. A notary public must fill out an application, take state training classes, obtain a bond, pass an exam and pay several fees.
