Collection Development Policy

Parents/caregivers may read aloud to a young child to gain credit days for their child's card's fees. However, if the parent also wanted to participate with their personal library card, they would not be able to double-dip the credit from reading aloud to their child and would need to read at a different time to earn their own credit. In this way, credit is never transferable to more than one card.
