Large Equipment and Furniture Loans
1. Only groups, organizations, businesses, or county departments may borrow a piece of equipment. The person checking out the equipment is responsible for its return and use. Even though a person is using the equipment for a corporation or department, the library considers the loan an individual borrower loan. The person borrowing the equipment is personally liable. A second contact person from the organization must be listed below.
2. Anyone wishing to borrow equipment(whether furniture or a machine) must have a valid borrower's card, and the person must be over 18 years of age. The patron must not have any charges assessed on the patron record. The patron signature card accepting the library system rules and regulations should be signed.
3. Equipment loans are for 24-hour periods. If the library is closed at the end of the 24-hour loan period, the equipment is due in the first hour of library operations following the due period listed below. Any exceptions to the 24-hour loan period may be made only by the Branch Head or County Librarian. No other staff member, even those in charge of the library at the time, may make exceptions to this rule.
4. Reservations for equipment may be made at any time prior to the actual loan. If there is a need for an extended loan, it is strongly suggested that the reservation be made sufficiently in advance to procure permission from the Branch Head or County Librarian. If the equipment is available for loan, it is available without previously reserving it.
5. Staff who charge equipment to a patron should verify with the patron that the equipment is ready for use. This includes bulbs, manuals, cords, covers, and any other pertinent accessories. When the equipment is checked in, the patron and staff member should again check to verify that all equipment is operational, and accessories are returned. It is imperative that all items be verified.
6. Patrons who borrow equipment shall be personally liable for intentional damage or theft. When it is determined that malicious damage has occurred, a criminal mischief charge will be filed with the County Sheriff's Department. If a patron has not returned equipment by the due hour, a charge of $1.00 per hour per piece of equipment will be assessed, and a phone call to the patron will be placed. The County Librarian will place a second call within 24 hours. If the equipment is not then returned, theft charges will be filed with the Sheriff's Department.
