Video games
by maureen＠romeodistrictlibrary.org 04 Dec '18

We keep an empty case with a copy of the same cover and with DISPLAY printed boldly in yellow across the cover in the stacks in a designated area. The patron brings the empty case up and we swap it for the real case with the actual game in it to check out to the patron. The actual games and cases are kept on a cart behind the circulation desk. When a patron checks a game out we place the empty case horizontally in the same spot the actual game was kept. When the game is returned and checked in, the case with the game goes back on the cart standing vertically, while the empty case goes back out on the shelf. So far this system has worked well for us. We have Wii, PlayStation 2, 3 and 4 and XBox and Xbox One. When we ran out of room on the cart, the PlayStation 2 games were put out on the shelf instead of an empty case. -- Maureen Swanwick Head of Circulation Romeo District Library

Speaking of Birds
by Kimberly Young 04 Dec '18

04 Dec '18

Hello to each of you! I wanted to share the contact information for Backyard Birds and Beyond with all of you. HLPL has had Greg Bodker visit twice in the past 3 years to present. His program titled "Bird Watching VS Birding" was very informative, but it was his photography and appropriate sense of humor that made the event fun and enjoyable. Greg's passion for the subject and extensive experience shine as he speaks! And did I mention his photography?!?! His shots will elicit exclamations and questions. Below you will find a link to the website and an attached flier (I will gladly send to anyone interested that gets this in digest). Please let me know if you have any questions or if want me to send and introductory email.
