Efficiency

Library materials are accessible to customers within 12-24 hours after being returned. Through a process where Library Aides visited other libraries that did not use shelving in their work rooms and came back excited about the simplicity of their re-shelving process. We then developed a process for Village and it has worked very smoothly. During this year the old shelving units in the work room have been removed and new carts purchased so that all library materials are not handled multiple times before being re-shelved for customer access.
