Hello there MichLibL, We had a wonderful long-time volunteer who covered and processed all our books. Now that she has let us know she's finally ready to 'retire', we are exploring innovating ideas and technology for processing books and materials. For example, what does your library do to process a book (stamps, labeling, covers, etc.) Has your library reduced processing and labeling (I'm want to be minimalist and still protect the materials). Do you use a machine for putting on covers or do it yourselves? Thanks for your collective wisdom, Mary Mary Jean Harrison Director Coloma Public Library 151 W. Center Street PO Box 430 Coloma Michigan 49038 269-468-3431 <http://www.colomapubliclibrary.net/> www.colomapubliclibrary.net The most important asset of any library goes home at night - the library staff.
