Hi Everyone!
Overdue Books and Other Items
Linda Johnson would like to hear how other librarians manage notifications of overdue books, and at what point do you just pronounce a book as lost and decide whether to replace it or not. Click here.
Young Adult/Teens Collection
Late last week, Amy Burke requested suggestions for Christian fiction and Christian Graphic Novels for young adult/teens. I need them too! Click here.
Let’s Read
We have not given much attention lately to what we are reading. This tab is a great tool for selecting new books for libraries. Unashamedly, I am restarting this conversation with my sister, Diane Moody’s new book, The Journey from War. Click here.
In Case You Missed These Responses Last Week:
Circulation Desk
In case you missed it this past week, consider a tool for handling the Circulation Desk schedule recommended by Everlie Bolton. How do you coordinate the Circulation Desk needs on Sundays and weekdays? Click here.
Assisting Users in Locating Items
Everlie Bolton also shared how they train team members. How do you schedule and train team members to assist users on Sundays and weekdays? Same people each Sunday? Monthly rotation? Click here.
Story Times for Children
Amy Burke, Joy Cryer, and Adair Elwing share how they provide story time for children during the week. Let the conversation continue. Click here.
