Newspaper Delivery

As most of you know, we have had issues with the Sunday papers being stolen. I have contacted both the Cape Cod Times and the Boston Globe, and have asked them to have the Sunday papers put in either the mail box or the book drop. Whether or not this happens is another story. Also, though I requested this for the Sunday deliveries, if you can't find a paper on a weekday, you may want to check the mailbox and book drop. Hopefully the delivery people will be able to make the change.

Another issue has been people stealing the Sunday paper off the shelf on Tuesday morning. SIGH. I want to try keeping the Sunday papers at the desk - just for the day - to see if that helps solve the problem.

Questions, please see me.

Thanks!

NEW DVDs Have Moved

Due to the continuing thefts of (especially NEW) DVDs, I have moved the new ones to the wooden shelf directly across from the circ desk. I have no idea if it will help, but I guess it can't hurt. I have put up new signs, and a sign directing patrons to the new location.

THEFT WARNING

I just got this email from Patrick, the Director in Bourne:

Good Morning Everyone - Wanted to give you all a heads up that there appears to be a husband and wife team stealing items from libraries. We were hit on Friday. 30% of our children's dvd's are gone, a large portion of our music cd's are gone as well as law books from the nonfiction area. They are from Yarmouth and their last name is Croce (we managed to get the plate number off their white honda civic and police ran it through). Please be aware if you see anthing from Bourne that is for sale in your book sales, etc(they have ripped off barcodes and packaging from materials as we found a pile of it by the area where there car was parked. Also, just watch your collections, especially if, like us, you do not have a security system.

I'm so angry right now........and tired of being robbed.

Patrick

I will post any updates as I get them.
