In the past we have worked out cards for individuals staying at a nearby domestic violence shelter, and we allow anyone to make use of our computers, but I would like to set up something more permanent and wide-ranging that would allow individuals without a permanent address to better access library services.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We have some ideas here on staff, but I would be very interested in hearing how other libraries have tackled this. What kinds of requirements do you have in order to obtain a card? Do cards for those without permanent address have the same borrowing privileges, or modified privileges? Have you experienced a great deal of material loss, or no? I suspect I may have to work pretty hard to get 100% buy-in from my board and from staff, so any information you've got would be great!</DIV><br/><div style='clear: both;'>Kirsten Brodbeck-Kenney<br>Library Director<br>Driftwood Public Library<br>801 SW HWY 101, #201<br>Lincoln City, OR 97367<br>(541)996-1251<br>kbrodbeck-kenney@lincolncity.org</div><br/></body></html>
