Suggestion box Volume 1

"Request for magazine subscriptions: Horticulture Magazine and Inspired Magazine."
We annually review our magazine circulation and try to contain the numbers and costs to a manageable amount. Several of our serials are donated including Sky & Telescope, Harvard Business Review, & Oprah.

"Is it possible to have the book drop open all the time? Makes it much easier for patrons. Thank you!"

While the library staff and trustees ponder this suggestion each year, we have found fiscally and operationally it is unrealistic at this time. We need to be able to empty the drop box regularly, which requires more staff on circulation than we currently schedule. As much as a drive through window or delivery directly to the door of an awaiting library patron, wheeled over by a roller skating librarian is also on our wish list, this, for now is a tough commitment to make. Keep asking though and there might be a better solution out there.
