Teacher
Loan Card Policy
A
Teacher Loan library card will be issued to any teacher upon request.
For the purposes of this policy, a teacher is defined as any individual:
functioning as an educator in a public or private school; working
as caregiver at a commercial or religious preschool or daycare;
functioning as group leader in a youth organization or educational entity.
The teacher must have a personal Barberton Public Library card in
good standing.
Teacher
Loan cards will expire annually on Sept 30. The Teacher Loan card
may be renewed if the educator confirms that he/she is still an educator.
Teachers
having a personal library card that has accumulated fines or fees
exceeding the maximum fine/fee threshold for borrowing will not be
permitted to use their Teacher Loan card until the personal fines/fees are
below the threshold.
A
Teacher Loan is for 28 days on all materials owned by the Barberton Public
Library (except for videos and DVDs which are loaned for one week).
Material borrowed from other libraries will be loaned for 2 weeks.
No late fines will be charged on materials checked-out on a Teacher
Loan card; however, an overdue notice will be sent when the materials are
two weeks overdue.
All
materials checked out on the Teacher Loan card are the responsibility of
the teacher. Damaged, lost, or stolen materials are the financial
obligation of the teacher. When a Teacher Loan is 6 weeks overdue,
the teacher will be billed for the cost of replacement of those materials.
Materials
checked out on a Teacher Loan card should be for classroom use only and
not for personal borrowing, such as current fiction and best sellers.
All Library policies have been designed to maximize available resources and ensure accessibility. They are always subject to review and revision by the Board of Trustees as necessary.
