[Michlib-l] VOX books

[Deb Hemmye]

We also put ours in a hanging plastic bag (and display them that way, too); we do not have any type of agreement they have to sign to take them home; and our staff re-charges them upon return.

We put them in the hanging plastic bags only because when they were returned, they splayed open oddly because of the reader inside and we had damage issues.

Hello, Library Land! 





BPL is adding VOX books to our collection! We are looking at best practices for these awesome books. My cataloging gal and I were wondering if we could get your collective input on the following questions: 





1. Do you use any sort of zippered bag/pouch for circulation or do they go out like any other book? 





2. Do you have any sort of agreement/waiver for checkout (similar to Library of Things or tech equipment)? 





3. Do you send the charger home with the patron, too, or do staff recharge them upon check in? 





Thank you in advance for any information you can provide! 





Kind regards, 


Sarah Skinner, MLIS 


Executive Director (she/her)
