Video Projection System Use Policy

 

It is the policy of the North Judson-Wayne Township Public Library that the video projector system may be used by non-profit groups, community groups, other units of government, and the schools and businesses of North Judson and Wayne Township, then by other groups in Starke County without fees. Similar groups from outside of the county may use the video projector system by leaving a $100 deposit that will be refunded when all components of the system are returned in working order.

 

The video projector system consists of a video projector and carrying case, VCR/DVD player and carrying case, and connector cables. It is not necessary to check out all components of the system at any one time.

 

The system must be reserved in advance for specific occasions. Scheduling is on a first come, first serve basis. Library programs take priority followed by North Judson and Wayne Township groups and residents then Starke County groups and residents and, lastly, groups and residents from outside Starke County. The system may not be reserved by any group - except the library - for regular use in one of their on-going programs (i.e. every Thursday from 12 to 2 all year). However, it may be reserved for a series of dates for programs with definite starting and ending times. Scheduling for this type of event is up to the Librarian's discretion. The equipment may be picked up the evening of the day before scheduled use and returned the morning of the day after scheduled use.

 

At least one individual from the reserving group needs to come to the library and sign out the pieces of the system to be used. For the most part the system will be checked to see that all parts of the system have been returned in working order. Any damage, beyond normal wear and tear, sustained to the system while it is in the custody of a group other than the library will become the financial responsibility of that group. Any malfunction of the equipment should be reported to the library as soon as possible.
