Happy Friday, everyone! We've just received a donation of several murder-mystery board games and I'd like to try circulating them here. If anyone has had experience circulating board games I'd be grateful for any tips, experiences positive and negative, and cataloging advice. Not asking for much on a Friday! I very much appreciate your time and any help you can provide. Thanks, -Sharon -- Sharon Crotser-Toy Director *Watervliet District Library* 333 N.

Pagers for emergency situations?
by Andrea Ingmire 02 Nov '18

02 Nov '18

Any libraries out there using a pager system for your supervisors to be alerted to emergency situations in your building(s)? It seems retro, but I'm thinking that this technology might work out perfectly for this application. If you do use pagers, how many do you use? Pros/Cons? Who provides the service plan? Thanks!

Killing Eve DVD
by sjackman＠milfordlibrary.info 01 Nov '18

01 Nov '18

Hello, Our DVD copy of Killing Eve: Season One has been unable to play on multiple devices. Whether it's a computer or a standard DVD player, we get nothing. This has all been done on the staff side and we worry about sending it out into circulation, for fear that it may not work on any player. The show runs on BBC America, so it's parent company is the BBC in the U.K. On their website they claim: "Our DVDs are in Region 1 format and are compatible with DVD players purchased in the U.S. and Canada. DVDs purchased in other countries (including the U.K.) will not play on most U.S. or Canadian players." If anyone's heard from patrons or staff regarding their own DVD copy, good or bad, I'd appreciate hearing from you. Thanks for your time, Stephen Jackman Adult Services Librarian Milford Public Library sjackman(a)milfordlibrary.info 248-684-0845 (ext. 306)

Shelving VOX Books
by Trista Reno 01 Nov '18

01 Nov '18

Hello! I was curious as to how other libraries shelve their VOX books. This particular collection goes out like crazy in our library but we find the books rather bothersome to shelve. Currently ours are shelved spine out but the more we buy the harder it is to keep them tidy on the shelves. Thank you!
