The large type collection has been weeded and all weeds are discarded. If a book is missing, and doesn't say "discard", it is truly missing.

We are almost done with biography. The very end of the alphabet is sitting on the discard cart. Ryan should have it finished on Monday.

The Palmer School now has an official library card.  Palmer School is the last name & The is the first name. (Don't ask!)  This card is to be used for school books taken out by teachers.  Any personal items should be checked out on the teacher or student cards.  The Palmer School card is no-fines courtesy per PKG.  MH  10-22-12

Hi all--
We are weeding in several areas of the library:
Biography -- almost done
Large Type -- we did one run through and will trim some more
J Fiction -- Lia is up to G.

If a book is listed as "withdrawn", it is essentially gone from the library. Withdrawn books go either to the book sale, our book liquidators, or the recycling bin. If a patron requests a withdrawn book, try to ILL it.

Regarding the  database, books' records stay in the "withdrawn" status in the discard record set until the end of the year (sort of like purgatory). Then they are deleted for good (and ascend to bibliographic heaven).

The video circuit is now shelved on 3 very cute aubergine double-sided carts. They are located at the end of each video aisle. We hope that they will be more visible to patrons unfamiliar with the circuit. They should make browsing easier too. Anyone looking for the circuit, please direct them to the new carts.

We have scheduled Tine Kirkland Graham to do figure sketches on December 1 from 10:30 am to 3:00 pm.  There is no online sign-up.  People must call to reserve a slot.  The sign-up list is in the program binder at Circ.  They can drop off photos in advance if they like--children and/or animals.  Cost = $10/figure on paper; $20/figure on canvas.  Payment is not required in advance.

We need to find it.   
See if you can detect its whereabouts.

FYI: Voter registration forms were delivered and are available on the literature table next to the copier.
