Do you hold their driver's license, phone, backpack, etc. until they return the equipment? Is that even legal? How do you ensure the equipment doesn't walk out the door otherwise? Also, if you have any policies related to in house only items, please share. Thank you! Isabella Rowan, MLIS Library Director Phone: 517-223-9089, Ext. 111 130 S.
