Barcode scanners/readers
by Ann Bissell 06 Apr '21

06 Apr '21

The last time bar were purchased was at least 5 years ago and I need some help! I believe we use codabar format- there are 13 numbers on labels, with a check digit at the beginning. If the image doesn't load, there is a sample in the attachment. [cid:12a1769e-b59b-4643-a61d-b74f27f5e776] I have the following questions: Are the scanners/readers plug & play or is there some software that needs to uploaded? And why are prices so varied? $40 to $200. Any recommendations? Where did you purchase them? Thanks collective wisdom!

Selling in meeting room space
by Kat Boyer 06 Apr '21

06 Apr '21

Hello everyone, Our current meeting room policy does not allow outside groups to make sales on library property. We do have some exceptions for people participating in library programs (such as local authors can sell their books at our local authors event, or artists who sell art work during our participation in Art Hops). We have a community group that wants to use our meeting room to set up an artist to sell his work. They haven't asked for any other coordination or partnership with the library, just that they want to use our space for sales. Do any other libraries allow for this sort of thing? And if so, what does your policy look like? Kat Boyer Director Benton Harbor Public Library 213 E Wall St. Benton Harbor, MI 49022
