There are many groups like yours using Koha - your members should only have to sign up for a care at their home library and if they checkout books from a member library they will be expected to follow the rules of that library. The only problem I see if the charging of a membership fee. Do you charge someone who has a card at another library a fee to join another library? If so then you might have to do things the way you just mentioned. Information on setting circ and fine rules per library can be found here: http://koha.org/documentation/manual/3.0/administration/patrons-and-circulat... --- Nicole C.

Howdy all,
We’ve got some patrons who are members of multiple libraries in our Koha installation. Each library is a separate organization and therefore has different rules about overdue fines, checkout period, annual subscription fee, and so on. For this reason I suppose this means that a patron must have a separate OPAC login and patron account for each library. If s/he want to see online what books are checked out from two libraries, s/he will have to log in twice under two separate accounts, no?
Thanks very much,
Nelson
