handling books with inserts
by shermandirector 03 Dec '13

03 Dec '13

We recently picked up a copy of S. by Doug Dorst and J.J. Abrams. The book is really neat, but comes with lots of little items and notes tucked into the pages of the book. Does anyone else have this book and if so, how have you handled making it available to patrons? I just do not want to see all of the little pieces lost. Any ideas are welcome; I am hoping to compile a list of options so I can decide what will work best for us. Thanks, TJ Smith Library Director Sherman Township Library (989) 644-5131 shermandirector(a)winntel.net
