[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Adding patron info to checkout receipts - quick poll

[Diane Disbro]

Good morning -

We purposely don't include the patron account number on check out receipts
so that receipts left in books or lost in the parking lot don't have any
patron information on them. But that decision is for each individual
library to make.
