Limit checkout to patrons from this library and branches
Most of our libraries loan the library of things and museum passes to their own patrons. However, since all members use Adult Resident patron code for their resident patrons, it is not possible to limit materials to their own patrons. Could a checkout setting be added to the item records, similar to the hold setting "patrons from this library and branches" and "x days past first available".

In a consortium of 43 libraries, it's nigh impossible to consider adding additional patron codes. With the hold setting in the item record limiting holds to patrons from this library and branches, it seems like the architecture is already in place to add a similar capability for limiting checkouts--this would be a truly elegant solution and could make managing our circulation much simpler.
