You Don't Even Have to Leave the Room

Kids and their caregivers may now self-checkout items while they're in my library's youth services department.  They don't even have to leave the room.  All they need are their Evergreen Indiana library cards.  Well, that, and stuff to checkout.  Duh.

Ready to Go!

This self-checkout kiosk used to be located at our circulation desk, but, as you can see, it's now situated in front of the passageway leading to the restrooms in our youth services department.  It's where the glass case used to be, just to the right of our youth services reference desk.  (If you hit the water fountain, that would probably hurt!  So step back a few paces.)

Thanks to TV's Amanda for taking some great photos for my minions to post on the library's website and social media.

Meet Captain Book

Meet the official mascot of my library's youth services department.

What about moi?, you may ask.  Why am I not the official youth services mascot?  For starters, I am the library's official feline roving reporter (retired), which is much higher on the food chain than a mere mascot.  So the captain can do that--it's okay by moi.  I'm just relieved that I'm not being replaced.

TV's Amanda did a great job introducing Captain Book in that promo trailer (video).  She's a natural talent, given her family's television background.

What will Captain Book be doing at the library?  You'll have to drop by to find out!  What am I, a social secretary?  Not!

Seriously, the captain will be doing lots of fun things with TV's Amanda in her children's programs.  Those superpowers will come in handy once programming resumes on Monday, January 29.
