Packing A/V Material to Transit

A member library requested that we remind folks to use appropriate material to transit a/v material through InfoExpress. There has been an uptick in a/v material being placed inside a transit bag without any cushioning (transit box/bubble wrap/etc.).

Transiting Videodisc Update

Last week, we let you know that the renewal count for “transiting videodisc” and “transiting videodisc r-rated” were increasing from one (1) to two (2). This has been completed and the new circulation matrix has been uploaded to the .org website. This should not affect current circulations. The two renewals should only appear on circulations beginning today.

Reminder, the Annual Council Meeting is coming up on April 9th at 2:00 pm ET / 1:00 pm CT. During the meeting the 2024 Evergreen Indiana Annual Report will be presented along with project updates and more. Each Evergreen Indiana member library is a council member represented by their library director or designee. Please register here and plan to attend.
