Rules of Use for Maker Kits

• Maker Kits may be checked out by Cleburne Public Library (CPL) patrons with a valid library card.
• Maker Kits are intended for use by patrons age 14 and up. Some kits will only be loaned to those 18 and up.
• Maker Kits are for a 14-day loan period with no renewals. Overdue fines for kits are $1 per day. There is no grace period. 
• Only ONE kit (Maker, STEM, or Read-it-Again) may be loaned to a household at a time.
• Patrons will be asked to confirm the inventory and verify the contents of each kit at check-out/check-in and acknowledge responsibility with their signature. Staff initials are also required to complete the process.
• The patron is financially responsible for ALL items in the borrowed kit. Kits returned with item(s) lost or damaged will require the patron to pay replacement costs and a processing fee.
• Patrons are expected to read and follow all directions, use safety precautions, and supervise minors as needed when using the kits.
• The patron agrees that the CPL is not responsible for any manufacturing defects, quality, or workmanship of any of the tools, materials or equipment contained in the kits. CPL is also not responsible for the quality or condition of a maker's project.
• Some kits may include consumable materials for patron use, while supplies last. Many kits will require patrons to provide some of their own materials.
• A list of common suggestions is included in the kit, but may not be fully comprehensive. Patrons may also choose to purchase additional materials on their own. Additional materials may be available for purchase from the library.
• Patrons are requested to complete the enclosed survey for each use and return it to the library with the kit or complete the online survey. The survey is optional to complete.

Maker classes are held each month, and individuals can also use equipment by appointment
