Activity Kits circulate according to special rules:
- You must be 18 or older to check out the Orion Starblast Telescope
and the Mobile HotSpots. For all other kits, you must be at least 13 years old.
- Speak to the librarian at the Circulation Desk to request an Activity Kit.
- To check out, you must have an active
library card in our system.
- If you would like to borrow a mobile hotspot, you must sign a rental agreement.
- Kits must be returned to the Galion Public Library.
Unlike most other library materials, the kits are too big and/or
too fragile to ship from library to library in a book bin.
- You are responsible for all the contents in the kit.
There will be a charge for lost items,
including replacement of the whole set if items cannot be purchased individually.
- Please clean appropriate items after use.
- Most kits circulate for one week.
(Mobile hotspots circulate for two weeks.)
- Late fees are $1 per day on kits, except for mobile hotspots, which are $2 per day.
Kits can now be renewed up to three times, the same as other materials,
unless there is a hold for another patron. Please note that the mobile wireless hotspots
almost always have holds, so you are unlikely to be able to renew them.
- Library staff will examine the contents with you when checking a kit in or out.
- A maximum of two kits may be checked out at a time.
