The WELL

What is the WELL ?
The Watershed Education Lending Library (WELL) is a resource for schools and not-for-profit organizations involved in watershed research and education. The WELL acts as a lending library for watershed education equipment and curriculum. Agencies, organizations and groups use the WELL as a virtual library database to identify what materials are available to share.

Library Policies
Borrowers can sign out materials for no charge and utilize these items for research, service learning projects and field trips. Borrowers must contact the identified lender to inquire of availability of material's) and to arrange for pick up. Typically, the material's), if available, can be picked up at the lender’s location.

Loan Period
Borrowers contact the lender for information regarding how long material's) can be checked out. Some items are made available for a day or two while others may be available for the length of a school year.
Returning Materials to the Lender
Borrowers need to contact individual lenders for specific requirements, but please keep in mind the Well's basic return policy.
It is the borrower’s responsibility to return the loaned material's) to the lender. Borrower’s may mail them back, at their expense, or return them directly to the lender.
Borrowers are personally responsible for borrowed items until they are returned to the lender. Therefore, we suggest borrowers obtain a mailing receipt to verify mailing date and method in case articles are lost in transit. If loss or damage of loaned material's) occurs, borrowers must replace them or reimburse the lender for the replacement costs.
