Circulation News

There have been numerous instances of damaged media covers being returned to the owning libraries due to the lack of proper padding.  To help avoid this from happening, please be sure to wrap your media in extra thick newspaper, bubble wrap, padded envelopes, or other protective packaging.  This will also help cut the cost of replacing those cases.
