New Book-Return Slot at Check-In
|
 In response to patrons' concern about items not yet checked in being piled up at the check-in desk, we have unveiled a book-return slot. If you are in a hurry and require expedited check-in of items with a checkout quantity limit (DVDs, CD audiobooks, etc.), simply ask the volunteer at that station for assistance. This change also prepares us for our upcoming transition to RFID, a faster and more accurate method of checking in and out items.
