Library of Things - No longer checking board games
We're no longer going to check board games for missing pieces. Just check them in like a normal item. If it has a hold, print out the slip, tape it to the bag, and put it on the LoT holds shelf (alphabetical by patron, please).
There's a new insert that will go into board games that says "to let us know if it was unplayable due to missing pieces and we can put them on hold for the game for the future"
Important task - put these inserts into any board game you check in, if it doesn't already have one. They're on the desk above returned Library of Things.
Taking Large Bills:
Patrons may pay will bills larger than $20.00 if they are paying in exact change for a membership. Meaning, we will take a $100 bill if they’re paying for a $120 membership. We will NOT take a $100 bill if they’re paying for a $90 membership. As long as you don’t need to make any change, we’ll take a $50 or $100 bill.
If they are paying with a bill larger than $20.00, you must use the counterfeit detection pen on the bill. Draw a line on the bill with the pen. If it turns yellow – it’s good! If it’s black, hand it back! These pens are at the welcome desk.

We can renew, checkout, place holds, extend hold, pay for books, give due dates, provide AMAZING customer service that doesn’t give out any private info.
Checking out stuff for someone that is not the person in front of you: They need to have the other person’s library card, a photo of it or the number and PIN. That’s it, that’s the only way.

Special Situations
Special Situations
An address can be in Doubt because mail was returned, so we need to confirm it when the patron is in the library again.
After confirmation you can turn off this tag by going to Patron account flags and selecting No.
Short answer: No, we don't have a bulletin board and as a city entity everything that we advertise should be approved by the city first.
