FYI–You may be wondering, or if not you will surely get asked, what the colored slips of paper in the New Book items mean. We’ve already had a couple of patron questions just since last night when we put the first batch out. The colored strips of paper are a process tracking thing and nothing whatsoever to do with whether the books are available for patrons. There will be different colors each month so patrons can just ignore them. So if asked please let patrons know the books are for check out as usual and they needn’t worry about the colored paper strips. If you have a patron that really wants details of the whole story (doubtful!) feel free to send them to circulation for an explanation.
