Sunday Hours Inquiry
by Dee Beaver 05 May '17

05 May '17

SSLDL is coming to the end of it's first season being open on Sundays. We have collected some statistical data and we are wondering if any libraries have statistics for the second and third years after being open Sundays. For instance, did Sunday attendance increase the second and subsequent years, decrease, or stay relatively the same. If you have this type of information, and would be willing to share it, please send me an email off list. I will be happy to share any responses that I get. Thank you in advance. -- Dee Beaver Youth Services Librarian Salem-South Lyon District Library 9800 Pontiac Trail South Lyon, MI 48178 (248) 437-6431 x204 FAX:(248) 437-6593 www.ssldl.info *https://www.facebook.com/SSLDL <https://www.facebook.com/SSLDL>* *https://www.instagram.com/ssldl/ <https://www.instagram.com/ssldl/>* *https://twitter.com/ssldl <https://twitter.com/ssldl>*

AV materials and automated material handling systems
by Yvonne Brown 05 May '17

05 May '17

Hi, everyone. I am seeking feedback from libraries using automated material handling systems. How are you handling AV items? Are those items being sorted into special handling bins? We are concerned about items with missing or mis-matched discs. The vendor we met with indicated that their system goes by weight and it's "pretty reliable" about catching items returned with missing discs. Would you mind sharing your workflows and solutions? We are working on a new building project and open to any advice! Thanks so much. Yvonne ============= Yvonne Brown Lapeer District Library www.library.lapeer.org 810-664-9521
