I am posting this on behalf of Maureen Rust. Please respond directly to her, not to me!

Today a parent has requested her child be allowed to “check out” a laptop for use over the weekend. She will need a laptop because she is attending a girl scout event and will not be able to use her home computer to complete some school assignments. We currently do not have a policy about lending laptops for student use outside of school. My principal has asked that I check with other area librarians to see if anyone else has a policy or has had a similar request.
