"New" DVDs

You all know that the DVDs have category labels on the spines (Fiction, Nonfiction, Multicultural, Shakespeare). However, some DVDs also have a "New" sticker on the top right corner of the DVD cover. These need to be shelved on the "New" shelf in the DVD area, so that people can easily see what new DVDs the library has. Please take the time to notice if a DVD has a yellow "New" sticker on it before shelving. Thank you, Tamara

Library card applications

When patrons are filling out library card applications, please take a few minutes to review the applications for legibility. Can you make out all the words? Easier to do this when a patron is here than for us to figure out when we input. Also, it is important to check their IDs - if they don't have a student ID, encourage them to go to Founders to have one created - it is free, can be used for discounts at area merchants, and doubles as their library card.  If no student ID, check for a driver's license, class registration, something with their name.  It is important we confirm that they are a student, community member, MILE member, or other since this determines their patron borrowing privileges. Thank you! Joy

Newspapers

When putting newspapers away, if you run out of empty hanging folders, please do one of two things: tell Anne, or double- or triple-up the OLDEST newspapers of that title, and move the emptied folders to the front for the newest papers. DO NOT just stuff all the newest papers into the front hanging folders. Thank you, Anne.
