Right now our only restriction is with cards for minors.  We ask that the day they are issued the card, anyone under 18 only check out 2 items.  Once those are brought back, they are able to go up to their normal borrowing limit.

Hi!


Do any libraries have a probationary period for new card holders?  If you do, is it for everyone or it is based on some criteria; how long is the probationary period; and what are the limitations? 

 

We currently do not have any restrictions – a card is valid immediately and the card holder can max out checkout limits on the first day.  Recently we have had a number of new card holders who do just that and are never heard from again. 

 

Any advice, examples, or suggestions are welcome!

 

Thanks,

Megan
