SUGGESTION BOX

December, 2007

1. Could we please have a daytime non-fiction book club?	For now, at least, we have determined that one non-fiction book club meets the general demand, and that the evening time best accommodates the majority of our attendees. We’ll consider this again periodically, but for now, we hope you are able to attend our evening book club.
2. DVDs: Newhart, Bugs Bunny/Foghorn Leghorn, Time Out Chicago magazine, more Manga!	These are being considered for purchase. Thanks for the suggestions!
3. You should get a pop machine.	We are considering adding beverage service in the near future. For now, please be aware that drinks in the library are permitted, as long as they are covered.
4. Shelve all the Sherlock Holmes DVDs together.	In order to avoid confusing library patrons, it is necessary to provide consistent cataloging for books and all other library materials. The DVDs are located first by genre (i.e., action, comedy, etc.) and then by title. If you would like to find all of our Sherlock Holmes DVDs, the online catalog is a great way to do this – simply type in “Sherlock Holmes” and “DVD” as keywords. Otherwise, we’ll be happy to help you find the DVDs your looking for.
5. On last Sunday, all the ad sections, funnies and magazines of the Saturday & Sunday papers were missing! We could not see the post-Christmas ads. I know sometimes people cut out coupons, but that is no reason to keep the taxpayers from them. It is not fair for just your employees to get to read and use them!!	Please rest assured that library employees do not keep the newspaper inserts for themselves. On that particular day, there was some concern for the security of the inserts, and they were kept at the Circulation for patrons to borrow for use within the library. If we do this again in the future, we will provide clearer instructions for our patrons – we apologize for the confusion!
