Hi MichLib-L, Our Library is considering purchasing HotSpots for long term loans to patrons (6 months or a year). If anyone is doing that, I'd appreciate any feedback on how it's going or any particular issues that have come up. I would also appreciate if any relevant policies could be shared since we'll need a new policy if we go this route. We currently circulate our HotSpots for 2 weeks at a time. Thank you for your collective wisdom, Mary Mary Jean Harrison Director Coloma Public Library 151 W. Center Street PO Box 430 Coloma Michigan 49083 269-468-3431 <http://www.colomapubliclibrary.net/> www.colomapubliclibrary.net The most important asset of any library goes home at night - the library staff.
