<p class="MsoNormal">Hello there LibraryLand,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am considering creating a different card type that is specifically meant for people in foster care or shelters that have a more variable address as opposed to something more permanent. The literacy levels in our area are not the greatest
so I am hoping that maybe the library can assist and provide some level of service. We have many foster kids who technically reside in our service area but do not always stay in the same location. We are also concerned about loss of books if they were to suddenly
be moved somewhere else. Our library still collects fines that only accrue and cap at $5, though if there is a late book AND it goes missing/damaged, a patron would have to pay up to $5 + the replacement of a book. I don’t want to create extra barriers to
the library for children who are already in a rough situation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do any libraries have a temporary card with perhaps more limited check out rules? Or any specific rules/guidelines/etc. that are different from a normal/regular card? I am hoping to crowdsource some information to bring to my next board
meeting to hopefully get this type of card approved. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance! <span style="font-family:Wingdings">J</span>
