Hot Spot Circulation Policies and User Agreements

Hot spots are valuable and high-demand items, and so it is prudent to include them in your library's circulation policy and to share a user agreement with your patrons. This article shares some examples of such policies and agreements that you can use to draft your own.

Overdue hot spots 

Please see the knowledge base articles about suspending and reactivating your library's T-Mobile or Verizon devices.

We recognize that local policy may mean the library needs to charge an overdue fine equivalent to what is charged for physical materials. For Montana Shared Catalog libraries, fine options are:
  1. No fines
  2. 10 cents per day
  3. $1.00 per day
Please open a help desk ticket if you need assistance or more information.
