Tip Jar
Delivery
Clearly label outgoing items with the name of the city (rather than the name of the library). Waltco sorters do not know the names of libraries without a city name. Ex: D.R. Moon Memorial Library should be labelled as Stanley P.L. Items that are labeled without a city name get delivered to the IFLS office to be relabeled. This takes staff time and delays delivery.
ILL
Remember to remove any private patron information before placing items in the courier bins. These items get sorted by non-library employees at Waltco. Patron names and phone numbers should never be attached to items traveling in the courier!
