School

School cards may be obtained by the principal, librarian, or director of a licensed school, pre-school, Head Start, or day care located in the taxing district. They will provide proof that includes the name of the school, address, and other prescribed information. Cards will be issued in the name of the school. The school will be exempt from overdue charges, but responsible for all lost and damaged fees.

• Cards are good for 1 year.

• One hundred and fifty (150) items total can be checked out on the card.

• Twenty-five (25) items may be audio visual, of which 4 may be video games.
   

S-Cards are issued to students and staff members of partner organizations who participate in the shared catalog project. Cards will be active while the student or staff member remains part of the partner organization. Partner organizations determine borrowing limits for their own materials.

• While exact borrowing rules vary based on the type of S-Card issued, students with S-Cards can check out 70 items total.
• The student and faculty will be exempt from overdue charges, but responsible for all lost and damaged fees.
• Five (5) items can be juvenile DVDs and 2 can be juvenile video games.
• Partner organization staff members have the same borrowing privileges as Teacher cards.

The current Shared Catalog Project includes Muncie Community Schools, Motivate Our Minds, Burris Laboratory School, and Inspire Academy. Learn more about getting a card at those schools here.
