Handing out items aside from regular circulation
by Kat Boyer 09 Jul '20

09 Jul '20

Hello again everyone, I am trying to find the best way to pass out or hand out items like take and make craft kits, or books for a virtual book club. These are obviously not regular circulation items and the way we have our set up now we ask that people return items in the book drop only and either check out at the desk downstairs or pick up curbside at our back door. For those of you doing take and make, book clubs, or handing out items in anyway are you giving them options aside from your normal circulation spaces to pick up the items? Or are you requesting that all items picked up from the library be picked up from the same spots? Kat Boyer Director Benton Harbor Public Library 213 E Wall St. Benton Harbor, MI 49022

Those who work with teens will be provided with an introduction to teen health resources. This course will present an overview of health information needs of teenagers and their information seeking behaviors, review communication skills needed during reference interviews with teenagers, and explore credible health information resources that are designed for teens.
