Amendments have been proposed in the Library Loans Policy for clarity and to reflect terminology changes. Part A, the Eligibility table has been reformatted to facilitate clearer understanding of loan conditions for the eligible borrower categories. Changes include: increased Library loan limits and number of renewals for all client groups; inclusion of new conditions for Staff Loans (significantly increasing loan conditions); inclusion of a High School Agreement borrower category; updates to Courtesy Notices; and terminology changes due to the Library System update and the new iPads for loan service.
