Policies*
|
| Library Cards- | There is no
charge for a library card. Current identification and proof of address
is necessary to receive a card. Parents or guardians of children under
14 years of age must complete an application for their children. |
| Internet Usage- | We have three computers available
for Internet use for Bondurant Community Library cardholders. Users must
complete an Internet use agreement form before using the Internet. Parents
or guardians for children under the age of 18 must complete an Internet
use agreement for their children. |
| EBSCOHost- | Provides access to thousands
of magazine articles, encyclopedias, and other information. Click
here for links to EBSCOHost (call the library
to get the name and password). The public may access this database from
their own computers or use the library's Internet service. |
| Suspension of Privileges- | If you accumulate $5 or more
in fines, borrowing, gaming, and computer privileges are suspended until
the obligations are reduced below $5. |
| Lost/Damaged- | Lost items will cost the price of
replacement. Damaged items will be charged according to individual assessment.
|
| Privacy of Records and Confidentiality- | All records, formal and informal,
in the Bondurant Community Library relating to patron registration and
the subsequent circulation by patrons of materials are considered to be
confidential in nature. Parents should be aware that, as provided in Section
22.7(13) of the Code of Iowa, they cannot have access to records of what
their child checks out. This code states that libraries may not reveal
to another party any titles checked out by any individual. This law includes
materials borrowed by children and requests by parents for this information.
All borrowers, including children, may request this information from their
own borrowing records. Parents of young children may wish to check out
materials for their child on the parent's card to facilitate access to
this information. Parents may want to have young children give them custody
of their child's card; in that case parents may present the card or user
number to the librarian. |

already in the collection. Please inquire at the library for the guidelines
for acceptance. Gifts of money, real property, and/or stock will be accepted
if conditions attached thereto are acceptable to the Board of Trustees.
