by Lynn Schofield-Dahl 28 Aug '19

28 Aug '19

Hello. My Board has asked me to collect examples of Movie and Video Game loaning policies. They are interested in seeing policies which do not restrict on the basis of age, those which do restrict on the basis of patron age, and those which restrict on the basis of MPAA ratings or Game ratings. Thank-you. -- Lynn Schofield-Dahl Director Three Rivers Public Library 920 W. Michigan Avenue Three Rivers, MI 49093 269.273.8666 www.threeriverslibrary.org Read. Learn. Grow.
