Teacher Loan Policy
Special loan privileges are available to any teacher in a
Public school
Private school
Preschool
Licensed child care center
Educational organization
or to any registered home schooling parent.
Teachers must obtain a separate library card (which will be kept on file at the library) to check out materials intended for classroom use.
The following special conditions apply only to materials checked out on this card.
The loan period on a teacher card is 6 weeks with no renewal.
A loan can be made for 9 weeks if specified when the loan is first requested. No extensions will be made after the items have been checked out.
Teachers may select their own books or, with several days notice, a librarian will assemble a collection which will be automatically checked out and ready for pick up.
There may be limits on materials which cover topics in high demand ( i.e. holiday books) or for which our collection is limited.
For your convenience, the library will provide you with a printout of all materials checked out on your teacher card.
Only items regularly checked out for 3 weeks (books, audiobooks, music CDs, and book kits) may be borrowed on you teacher loan card. Videos, magazines, and software must be checked out on your personal card and will be subject to regular circulation guidelines.
Interlibrary loan items must be requested on your personal card and will only circulate for 3 weeks.
Regardless of reminders, you are responsible for the condition and return of all materials borrowed on your teacher card.
CLEVNET’s policy allows up to $1000 worth of materials (approximately 50 books) to be checked out at a time. CLEVNET will automatically begin to assess fines of $.05 (five cents) per day, per item, after six weeks. Overdue notices will be mailed about 2 weeks after the due date. You are responsible for prompt payment of any and all fines. Please report any lost or damaged items immediately.
Classroom collections will be distributed in blue canvas bags. Please return the same bags to the front circulation desk. Please do not use the book drop.
If you find yourself having difficulty returning a loan on time, you must call and inform the library. Failure to notify the library about a problem will result in CLEVNET assessing fines and billing you.
