Rules and procedures
1 - Treat all equipment with care, making sure to return it
in as good or better condition than you found it. This could include
cleaning anything that has become dirty, counting all the pieces to make sure
nothing is lost, putting everything back in boxes and bins in the way you found
them, and notifying us if anything has become lost or broken.
*Please note that if the equipment becomes damaged,
lost, or ruined, you may be held accountable and need to pay repair or
replacement costs. This will only be applicable in cases of extreme
negligence such as flying the drones over a lake.
2 - Reserve items with as much advance notice as
possible. We recommend at least two weeks, but we understand that this
may not always be possible. We cannot guarantee you will get your items
on time if you reserve something with less than a week's notice. If you
need something immediately, feel free to email or call and we will do all that
we can to get you your items in a timely fashion.
3 - Please keep reservations to no more than two weeks in
duration. If you need something for longer, contact us and we will see
what we can arrange.
4 - Try to pick up and drop off your borrowed items from the
Lending Library where possible. We are willing to deliver and pick up reservations
where necessary, but we encourage you to do it if at all possible. This
will give us more time to spend on developing lesson plans, providing PD, and
maintaining the equipment.
