<div dir="ltr">Hi Karren,<div>At TADL we decided to add it to our policy instead of worrying about keeping a zillion forms and worrying about minors checking out items since they legally can not sign a document. When you get a card you agree to all the policies including the liability. Here's the link to the general <a href="https://www.tadl.org/policies/borrowing" target="_blank">Circ Policies </a>and <a href="https://www.tadl.org/policies/Things" target="_blank">Library of Things</a> Policy. All are vetted by our lawyer. </div><div><br></div><div>Additionally, we removed any age requirement for any Thing (previously laptops and hotspots only circulated to 18+ years old ) because I thought it could possibly be used against us with patrons asking for certain books/movies/music being circulated by age since we did it for Things. </div><div><br></div><div>Not sure this will work for everyone but it's what we do. </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Jul 25, 2023 at 4:26 PM Reish, Karren (MDE) via Michlib-l <<a href="mailto:michlib-l@mcls.org" target="_blank">michlib-l@mcls.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone have a sample of a form a patron would sign acknowledging what is in a kit or collection being checked out and the liability limitations? Thanks for any information you may have.
