policy takeaways
Policy takeaways:
- These guidelines share information about how and how long a patron can check out items from our media collection (DVDs, CDs, LPs, more).
- For information about checking out media equipment, see the media equipment loan policy.
- Because media is copyrighted material, the circulation of media is governed by something called "circulation designations." These are determined by contracts signed when the media is purchased.
- The library adheres to those contracts and asks that patrons do, too.
