Hello, all.

What do you all use for covering your paperbacks? The staff at my new library is using packing tape! I'm not sure what is the best type of film to use, or where is the cheapest place to purchase.

On the accounting front... we recently became a district library and are in the process of getting all of our finances set up. I was told several years ago that we should use the uniform chart of accounts from the state when doing our budgets and accounting. Is this a requirement for us as a "government entity?"  If it isn't, what system do you use? If it is, or even if it isn't but you use it anyway, would you be willing to share your budget (minus the amounts) with me so that I can copy it?

Thanks in advance for your answers! If you can reply to me off-list, I would greatly appreciate it.

Helena
