Blu-ray shelving
by Jessica Parij 09 May '18

09 May '18

Good morning all, For those of you who circulate Blu-rays, do you interfile them with your DVDs, or do you have a separate section for them? We've had them for about 6 months and currently have them interfiled, but I am wondering if separating them out will help them circ better. Thanks! -- *Jessica Parij* *Adult Services Manager* Rochester Hills Public Library 248-650-7132
