[Michlib-l] Holds

Hi, We went to a public hold shelf almost 2 years ago. It was bigger than our old one, but we have already come across the problem of not enough room. We hold items on our shelves for 7 days total and allow our patrons to reserve 40 items. We tried moving the holds for patrons with a lot of them behind the desk, but after only a week had complaints about this. I am considering shortening the time holds are held for or lower the number of holds they can have. Has anyone else ever had an issue with not enough space on their hold shelf and what did you do to fix the issue? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. -- Anita Chouinard Circulation Coordinator Woodmere Branch Traverse Area District Library 231-932-8529
