My library is toying (sorry for the pun) with the idea of creating some non-traditional circulating collections (such as puzzles, board games, puppets, backpack sets,etc.)  If your library has collections like these already in circulation, could you share your thoughts?  In particular, here are a couple questions we have:

1. Puzzles/games - How do you check for missing pieces?  If they come back with missing pieces, do you charge a fee?

2. Puppets - How do you sanitize/clean after circulating?

We would appreciate any thoughts and comments on non-traditional circulating collections.  

Thanks,
