Floppy disks in the Library

[Tasmin R. Mills]

I would like to know if there are any libraries that have a policy about 
patrons bringing floppy disks from home.  We are experiencing the problem 
of floppy disks getting stuck in computers and patrons and staff forcibly 
trying to remove them.  It is difficult to educate patrons on proper floppy 
care but I see that it needs to be done.

Do you allow floppy disks from home or do you have patrons purchase floppy 
disks from you.  However, this still doesn't solve the problem of the new 
disk being damaged and then brought back to the library and used.

Suggestions?
