Educator Card

The Educator Card, with its special advantages, is designed to help educators who live or work in the Westerville School District make full use of the library's resources.

1. Any educator who lives or works in the Westerville School District is eligible for an educator card.
2. This includes classroom teachers in public and private schools, daycare center teachers and home schoolers.
3. The educator must appear in person at the library to obtain the educator card; it is not possible to apply online at the present time. The educator will need to provide a photo ID (e.g., a driver's license) and proof of current address. Proof can consist of a piece of mail addressed to the applicant, a checkbook or a car insurance card.

1. No limit on number of print or audio items that may be borrowed.
2. A limit of 10 videos and 10 DVDs will be in effect.
3. No overdue fines will be charged.
4. Payment required for lost or damaged items, except no processing fee charged.
5. Items loaned for double the regular loan period; no renewals.
6. Personal library card and educator card accounts are totally separate.

1. Use of card will be blocked if any item is 40 or more days overdue.
2. If an item becomes 55 or more days overdue, the educator's account will be sent to a collection agency, as would any other customer's.
3. Educator card will need to be renewed on a yearly basis. When card expires after one year, a staff member would need to verify the educator's account information and edit the expiration date of the card to extend it for another year. The card can be renewed over the phone.
