I set up a "family" card to be used by both parents. So
the patron would read The Hawkins family, etc., or The
Jim Hawkins family if more than one student with the
last name. This gives me a link back to at least one
student in the family (so many of my students don't even
have the same last names as their parents!)
Because we are practically next door to the public
library, I don't have but 1-2 requests to do this each
year, so I really don't even set any particular rules.
Since I set them up as a student account, rather than a
staff account, they are on the same policy: only two
books at any one time, checked out for one week, two
renewals allowed.
The parents for which I have done this are thrilled!
They are usually parents who are very active on campus
anyway, and it saves them trips to the public library!
