Reserves in the Annex Alcove

Dear Everyone,

Today was our first day with the holds in the "Annex Alcove"* It was exciting!  Here are some early observations.

• Be sure that our delivery person puts the bins on the shelf in "landscape mode".

This bin is on the shelf in "landscape mode".  Parallel to the shelf

•  As per usual, we will unpack the holds first.  We place the "Adult" Books on one truck.
•  We place the AV holds and the children's holds on separate trucks.  For now, we send the "Adult" book holds upstairs to the Main Circ Desk.  We give the children's and AV holds to    rear circ.
•  We have a smaller amount of table space.  Here is my suggestion.  Put the childrens check ins and the AV check ins on the table.For everything else, pick up item by item and check in.  Then place checked in items on a truck
•  You will want a second floor truck for non fiction.  You will want a first floor truck for fiction,  new books, Reference (travel, urban fiction, ESL, Foreign Language, Career, YA, Large Print)  At the end, you will need to scan in the AV and the children's items and place on trucks.  Too many trucks? Bring a couple up....your non fiction can go to second floor, children's to     Children's room, etc.

This is the table.  Smaller.
