Macomb or Oakland County Cash Register Sales/Service
by Jacalynn Harvey (Roseville Public Library) 03 Aug '21

03 Aug '21

Roseville Public Library has few cash transactions these days, however we still use a cash register since we sell items for both the library and the friends. Our ten-year-old cash register is still a very good machine, however we need service and the one-man business that sold and serviced the machine is no longer open. Can anyone recommend a cash register sales and repair service in Macomb or Oakland County?

What is your advertising budget for programs?
by Thomas Trahey 02 Aug '21

02 Aug '21

Generally, we don't spend money on advertising our programing, but we have a series coming up that I think is valuable and informative and I want to spread the word to people who don't usually follow what the library is doing. Have you had any success advertising? What platforms do you use? Social media? Radio? Newspapers? How much do you spend for a series you really like? -- Thomas Trahey Mason County District Library Head of Circulation 231-843-8465

request for recommendations: catalog software for small school library
by Jennifer Dye 02 Aug '21

02 Aug '21

I know I've seen discussions of catalog software for small libraries, but am evidently not coming up with useful search terms. Or at least not looking in the right months in the archive. I've been asked to set up a cataloging system for a small school library. Cost is obviously an issue, but they are not looking for free software--they recognize that they will get a better and more robust product by spending some money. (As long as I identify software that is better and more robust.) They have had about 2000 books donated from another school that closed. I haven't seen them yet, but it didn't sound like they had been cataloged. I should be seeing the books this Wednesday. They expect that they will be able to scan books to start the cataloging. That will mean identifying software and hardware for scanning. I've started some searching, but would appreciate suggestions. While there might be a computer that can be used for this, they are open to buying a basic desktop. There are no plans to network the catalog. Any leads or suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks, Jennifer Jennifer Dye BST/SSER, Assistant Manager Main Branch Detroit Public Library jdye(a)detroitpubliclibrary.org Main Branch 5201 Woodward Ave. Tu-Sat 10-6 Detroit, Michigan 48202 [DPL Logo]<http://www.detroitpubliclibrary.org> Detroit Public Library Disclaimer This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual(s) addressed in the message.
