How does your library handle bankruptcies?
by Steven Smith 28 Dec '16

28 Dec '16

We've had bankruptcies come up on occasion, and we've never been quite sure how to handle them. Does any other library out there have guidelines? How do you deal with lost items? Will you renew their library cards if they have lots of fines? Would you flat out forgive fines? Please let us know. Thanks, Steven F.

Dear Everyone, Thank you so much for your previous replies and guidance in helping us locate an alternate Arabic vendor. I have another query for the collective, and I hope that someone can give us some guidance. We are looking for alternate vendors for French and Russian books as we are having difficulties. However, we are unsure of what vendors (if any) provide these languages. Does anyone know of any vendors for French and Russian books, besides multiculturalbooksandvideos.com ? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you and have a wonderful holiday.
