EDUCATOR CARD AND EDUCATOR COLLECTION POLICY 

Please use this policy when planning and requesting an Educator Collection and for answering questions about the privileges associated with your Educator Card. 

1.      Persons eligible to apply for an Educator Card include public, private, and parochial school teachers and administrators; home educators; and daycare and preschool instructors. 

2.      Educator Cards are to be used to check out items for professional use only.  Materials for personal use are not to be checked out on Educator Cards. 

3.      Any materials checked out on an Educator Card that are lost or damaged are the financial responsibility of the cardholder. 

4.      With an educator card, most materials will check out for an extended loan period of four weeks.  

5.      No fines are assessed for overdue materials checked out on Educator Cards; however, items checked out on an Educator Card may not be renewed.  Persons with more than nine (9) overdue items on an Educator Card will not be able to use that card. 

6.       Educator cardholders may request to have an educator collection prepared for checkout or for in-library use by students.  Materials for elementary schools should be requested in the Children’s Department, and requests for middle school and high schools should be requested in the Adult Reference Department. 

7.      When requesting materials, we ask that you give us at least one-week notice to prepare the items you need.   Plan to request each collection individually and as you need to use it.  In other words, please do not place requests for the entire year or for several months. 

8.      The maximum number of items that may be checked out on an Educator Card is one hundred (100).  The maximum number of items for one Educator Collection is twenty-five (25).   

9.       A prepared collection will be held for one week after the indicated pickup date.  After one week, the materials will be reshelved.   

10.   Based on the demands of our collection at the time of check out, the library reserves the right to limit the number of items checked out on an Educator Card on any topic.
