Bicycle lock circulation procedure

We buy relatively inexpensive locks and lanyard and check each set out till the end of that day (so no parking overnight, in theory). Our bike rack is about 10 feet from our outside bookdrop, so they can just drop the key and lock in there when they leave. There's a generic bib record in the catalog, which is suppressed from public searching.
