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

[Reese, Carol L]

We do allow our alumni to borrow our books free of charge. They don't
get interlibrary loan privileges though.

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
