Cromaine has a circulation policy of 1 week, restricted to our patrons only. I've attached the policy that we include with instructions for operating the hotspot. We're a fine-free library, so we don't charge late fees, but we do charge a hefty $150 replacement fee for lost or damaged units. We recently had to charge a patron because her "puppy" ATE one of the hotspots. The dog is OK, but the hotspot unit itself was mangled beyond recognition, so I do recommend making the replacement fee very clear to patrons. If a hotspot is overdue, we shut off the data service. The patron is notified of this when they try to connect to the internet through the hotspot, so it's a very clear and effective method of getting the units returned. Otherwise, these units follow our standard circulation policies in terms of renewals. We did have to ban a patron from checking out these units when an attempt was made to remove the SIM chip so it could be used for some other purpose. Otherwise, these units are one of our top circulating items.
