In the Stacks

from The Messy Bookshelf Podcast · host David, Jade and Sarah

In today's episode we talk about the things we wish our patrons knew. Let's face it, people who go into public libraries, they're overwhelmed, they need to print something, they are in a hurry, they're not sure what they are looking for or maybe even a little embarrassed because they haven't been a library since their first grade class field trip, fifteen years ago. We want to help you; so help us, help you. We break down school libraries versus public library organization, find creative ways with book displays to help you find books you can't remember the author/title, library browsing and bookstore browsing, that we don't keep track of your book history and holds (ILL's, requests and the life of a hold).
