[OPLINLIST] Juvenile Privilages and Parent Usage

[Lori Shafer]

Juveniles are allowed to check out any dvd on their card except R-rated
ones. We did place warnings on Non-rated items to warn patrons they may
contain graphic material.

We do allows parents to check out on their child's card. In reality, the
parents are responsible for any fines or fees attached to the card, so they
should be able to control what is on it. However, we do require parents to
have a card of their own before getting a card for their child. Plus, we
require all cards within the family to be in good standing before anyone
can check out. This prevents parents who have large fines from racking up
large fines on their children's card as well.
