As a participating MichiCard library, the following policies are important to the success of the statewide resource sharing program. Please keep this material for future reference.

Policy 1 - When filing a MichiCard Claim Form for non-returned materials, list the borrower's library --not the borrower's name. Under the Michigan Library Privacy Act, a lending library may not disclose information that links a person to a loaned item. (MichiCard Reimbursable Cost Policies and Procedures and a reimbursement form are attached.)

Policy 2 - MichiCard libraries agree to return materials to other lending MichiCard libraries. When returning materials, it would be helpful to the lending library if the returning library included a date received slip in the materials. Postage costs will be reimbursed. (Michigan Reimbursable Postage Cost Policies and Procedures and reimbursement form are attached.)

Policy 3 - When registering a person who has a MichiCard borrower's card, or a local library card with a MichiCard sticker, the person's home address must be recorded in case the participating lending library needs to send an overdue notice
