[ILL-L] Do you let your alumni borrow books?

[ebirnbaum at pace.edu]

Hi,
This is a question for academic libraries only. Here we have been grappling with the question of whether to let our alumni borrow our books. I would like to ask what were the policies in other colleges and universities. We fear that, since we don't have any sway over them, we may lose some of our books if we lend them to alumni. If you are lending, do you do so free of charge or in return for a contribution or a fee? 

I will be grateful to hear from others.

Thank you,
Elisabeth Birnbaum
