Book Delivery Update

So far we have four volunteers for four participants in the delivery service.

Each volunteer will need some help for a while in finding titles and ordering selections.

Participants: Deliverer:
Edith Kenseth - Pam Reichmann
Fran Wendorf - Sue Beard
Elsie Aassen - Katie Gould
Margaret Smith -Doris Rusch

Each paticipant in their record has an asterik by their phone number and Ms in #29 and 32. This tells the computer NOT to notify the patron - each deliverer will be in charge of asking for any holds for their person. Currently, Edith Kenseth has four holds on the back counter by the program folders. Do not send any participants holds back - they can always be checked out and
renewed when the deliverer actually picks them up. As we talked if special due dates are needed
that can happen when deemed appropriate by the circulation desk staff.

Encourage all volunteers to look for titles in the regular collection as an option when trying to find materials for their patron. With giving them the knowledge that those titles more then likely can borrowed by ordering in large print format. Each participant should have a list in their folder of some of their reading preferences.

When checking out to the delivery person run a date due slip for the patron and then print one for the delivery person too.

More details will follow as the program develops. JB
