[Michlib-l] Locker for after hours pickup

[Dorothy Hull Library]

Thank you to all who responded. The overwhelming response is that patrons
of libraries who have installed lockers love them. I heard from just one
library who felt that use had fallen off and might not keep them, but there
were 18 libraries total with them, and 5 who wanted more information
because they are considering them. A couple of the larger systems had
installed them in a single branch to begin with, but plan to continue to
expand their use. Responses were from all sizes of libraries and well
distributed around the lower peninsula.

My query was born of looking for alternatives to expanding hours when our
past history means that those hours will serve very few patrons. Lockers
look like a very cost-effective option.

Libraries who have lockers, in no particular order, include:

Loutit
Gladwin County
Jordan Valley
Presque Isle
Hudsonville
Petoskey
Harrison District
Pere Marquette District
East Lansing
Jackson - Meijer Branch
Cadillac-Wexford
Saginaw Tribal Libraries
Grand Rapids Public (3 branches)
Howell
Southgate
Brandon Township
Novi
Grand Ledge

Again, thanks to all who responded.
