[Evergreen-general] Restricting Circulation for Certain Items by Home Library

[Aubrey Area Library]

Is it possible, yes but it would be convoluted if you used the holds
policies to do it. The only way that I can see to stop holds would be by
creating a specific circulation modifier for those items and basing holds
rules off that. Depending on distance though, as someone else mentioned,
you would still need to create circ rules to keep other patrons from
checking those items out.

Like Chauncey mentioned though, age-protection set to 99years is the
simplest route and one that our consortium uses for such items that we only
want to circulate locally.
