Children under 14 can’t check out or place holds on Learning Tools. We’ve had a couple of incidents where kids had holds on Learning Tools, and when I researched how this came to be, I found that they were holds placed by staff members. So far we were able to check out the tools to the parent accompanying the child, but if the child doesn’t bring his parent with him, he’ll be disappointed to go home without his Learning Tool.
When the screen pops up to remind you that the child has exceeded his holds on Learning Tools (i.e., he’s not allowed to have any holds on Learning Tools), be sure to click No and place the hold on the parent’s card instead.
