Guidelines Concerning Business-Use-Only Library Cards

A business located in Morton Grove may apply for an MGPL Business-Use Only library card. This Business-Use-Only-card will be issued at the written request on the business's letterhead of a principal official of the business or an official with the authority to assume financial responsibility for assessed fees or fines. This written request must list the names of all employees authorized to use the card. Cards will be issued in the name of the employees listed in the written request and kept on file at the Library, as the privileges extended are for the Morton Grove Public Library only, and not for neighboring suburban libraries. The written request must be re-submitted each year for the renewal of the individual cards. An employee using the Business-Use-Only card will be asked to provide ID before each use of the card.

Business-use Only Cards will be restricted to the borrowing of materials pertinent to the borrower's job. These cards may not be used to reserve any Library materials or to place interlibrary loan requests. Restricted materials for loans on a Business-Use-Only library card include: books on reserve and feature videos/DVDs; these restricted materials cannot be charged to a Business-Use-Only Library card. A list of materials charged to a Business-Use-Only card will be provided to the borrower. The items checked out should be checked against this list and the Library notified immediately of any discrepancies; otherwise, the business will be held responsible for all titles listed. The authorized business official's signature on the written request signifies the business's acknowledgement of financial responsibility for any unreturned materials, damage and/or late fees that are incurred by the people authorized as card users on the Business-Use-Only Card written request.

Approved by the Morton Grove Public Library Board of Trustees, May 9, 1996; revised 2/27/03; revised April 14, 2005.
