Self Checkout
by JC Wheeler Public Library 11 Mar '24

11 Mar '24

Hi all, reaching out to see if anyone has a self-checkout that scans barcodes? We are a small library that cannot afford to get a full fledge self-scanner, but wondering if there are any hacks to having a monitor with a barcode scanner and how that works with privacy. Any input would be appreciated! Thank you! JC Wheeler Library PO Box 226 1576 S. Main Martin, MI 49070 269-672-7875 “Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

CD Cases Up for Grabs
by Josie Columbus 11 Mar '24

11 Mar '24

Hi all, We've got a fair number of CD/Software cases up for grabs if anyone needs them! Two kinds are available. The first set is made of slightly softer, more opaque plastic. The other set is old-fashioned hard-plastic CD cases. See attached photos.We have ~400 of the soft plastic ones, and a few dozen of the old-fashioned hard plastic ones Please note that NEITHER kind has a plastic sleeve to insert graphics/coverart/etc into. Both kinds, however, have the small plastic tabs that would have held cover art and/or an instruction booklet in place. If you'd like some, please let me know how many you need and your RIDES code, and I'll send them your way!
