If the people are deported suddenly, the Colleges and Libraries wil most likely lose the materials..because those people will not have time to return the stuff. If they’re caught and deported back to their country,,, the stuff will get lost or damaged.
But colleges and libraries don’t seem to care. I’ve always wondered why they dont care?
Anyone know?
Most colleges don’t let just anyone borrow. Sometimes you can get a temporary borrowing card with limited privileges if you’re a student at another university and/or a resident of that state. Otherwise you can consult materials there, but can’t take them out.
For public libraries, a lot of the books are donations and there are small limits on how many books people can take out at a time at a public library precisely because so many regular citizens fail to return their books and pay their fines. The rare incident where an illegal immigrant takes out 2-3 books and is deported pales in comparison. If any library had a significant problem with deported patrons, then they might change their policies, but generally it’s not much of a concern.
b/c they have a lot of materials! Usually the most expensive stuff don’t get loan out, they are reserved only for use in the library. The other stuff are old, and they can easily get a newer copy if it’s gone. not only illegals, many people don’t return things to the library and lose their library privileges or are charged fines. there’s usually more than one copy of what they may lose that can be shelved at another library on the college campus or libraries within the city.
