[Publib] "Teacher Loan Cards"

[Ralston, Jennifer]

Our library is investigating the idea of creating a teacher loan card to
provide an additional service to teachers in our county. (I know that
many other library systems have different types of teacher loan cards).
I was hoping to tap into some of your expertise as part of my overall
research.

If your library currently provides teacher loan library cards, would you
be willing to share how they work? For example:

1.	Do you have a limit on the number of titles that can be checked
out from a particular subject area? (There are concerns about whole
sections being "wiped out" during heavy assignment times.
2.	What is your loan period? Longer than the normal loan period? Do
you renew?
3.	What do you do about fines/fees/lost items?

Any other pearls of wisdom, etc?

Thanks so much for any input you can provide.
