flying squirrels?...
no...Express Loans!

Express Loans = best sellers available in libraries for walk-in users (only). No holds on these babies. They're on the shelves just waiting for some lucky browser to come across them and presto!, a best seller is yours for a couple of weeks. Whacko, now that's a great idea.
Starts TODAY!

at last...
children's non fiction has been moved (hence, the empty shelves). The class sets have been moved; the adult non fiction consolidated; and now, the children's non fiction has been moved. Hooray!
Now we will remove the children's NF shelving and rearrange the study area/teenage lounge/capbk's spinners/etc.
...and on it goes.

tub chairs...
that's not to say that we have 'tub' people at Seaford but you can't have enough 'comfy' chairs! We now have 6 in a plush 'leatherette' chocolate brown (a well known and useful library colour). These chairs are now distributed throughout the library until we finalise their placement according to the 'uber' plan.
Feeling tired? Have a nice sit down!

self service holds...
Well, it's been a few weeks now and the self service holds look to be working well. There are 3 bays of shelving available for reserved items and that seems to be adequate for now. Customers are now used to the 'self service' practice although we still have some customers using this service for the first time (and they require assistance). Also, changing the markers to an iridescent green (from white) has made it easier for customers to find their holds. So it's all go for self service holds!
