The Henderson County Public Library owns two (2) Flip-Pals for public use. One Flip-Pal is for use inside of the library with the direct supervision of the Genealogy Department Staff and one may be checked out to patrons provided the following guidelines are followed:

  • A training session will be required before the Flip-Pal can be checked out.

  • Patrons must be in good standing with no outstanding fines or fees.

  • Only adults with permanent cards may check out a Flip-Pal.

  • The check-out period for the Flip-Pal will be seven (7) days.

  • If another patron is not in queue on the hold list, a seven day check-out renewal may be requested.

  • Overdue fines will be $10.00 per day.

  • The Flip-Pal must be returned in person in the library during regular hours. The device is never to be left in the drop box. Returning the Flip-Pal in the drop box will automatically require a patron to pay the maximum replacement cost and future check outs will be prohibited.

  • The software to operate the stitching feature and the image files captured by the device are stored on a removable media card. The software is plug-and-go, so nothing should be downloaded or uploaded to the media card other than the picture files and the software.

  • If the Flip-Pal is returned in good working order and no parts need to be replaced, then no repair or replacement costs will be assessed.

  • If the Flip-Pal is returned in damaged beyond repair condition, or not returned at all, the borrower is liable for payment of all applicable replacement fees. –see attached replacement cost list

  • Patrons will be responsible for supplying 4 AA batteries required to operate the Flip-Pal.
