<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">We are looking at our community borrower’s policies and procedures. I’m asking for input on your feelings about your responsibility to provide services to the community – beyond your college. We charge
a minimal amount (it was $5 and went up to $10 a quarter last week) to get a card. There are, of course, limitations on what they can check out, only use databases on campus. We just limited their time in the library to two hours a day. We’ve had a particular
patron who is a bit problematic who was coming in when we opened and begrudgedly leaving at closing.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">Also, we are wondering what you do about requiring a physical address – as this would affect homeless individuals.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
