Book Club Kits are checked out to one group member with a library card who is responsible for all of the materials. The kit is checked out for six weeks at a time. Book Club Kits may not be renewed.
Memory Kits, Electricity Usage Monitor Kits, and Learning Kits, which include Health and Maker Kits, are checked out to individuals who are responsible for all the materials. These kits can be checked out for one week at a time, but may be renewed if there are no other patron holds at the time the kit is due.
Wifi Hotspots are also checked out to individuals who are responsible for all the materials. These kits are circulated for 3 weeks and can be renewed if there are no other patron holds when the kit is due.
Kits may be picked up at and returned to any JMRL branch. They must be returned to a branch during open hours, since they cannot fit into the book drop. The fine for overdue or incomplete kits is $1 a day and fees will be charged to the card used to check out the kit.
JMRL policies regarding damaged item charges and collection agency fees apply to Book Club Kits, Learning Kits (which include Health and Maker Kits), Memory Kits, and other kits as well.
