Circulating collections care, What's In The Lab

Quick Pic: What’s in the lab?

January 31, 2025 Beth Doyle
A stack of books from circulating collections that are in the lab for repair.
A selection of  items this month that came  from the circulating collections.
Heavy underlining is distracting to readers. Don't do this to library books.
Is underlining every sentence better than just dog-earing the page? Debate…

January is the Schrödinger’s Cat of months. It goes by quickly, and drags on and on.
Happy New Year to all our followers!
