Looking for the silver lining!

It has been in use for barely two weeks, and our drive-up book return box met with an accident today, when a delivery truck backed into it.  It is bent out of shape, to say the least, and cannot be used at present.

While not a wished-for occurrence, this does give us the opportunity to remind people that we would actually prefer all returns to be made through the drop slots in the wall of the building if possible.  The freestanding box is intended principally for the convenience of those not wanting to get out of their cars.

If you are parking or getting out of your car anyway, please take your items to the wall-mounted returns, where you can feed them directly into our new materials handling system, which checks them in and sorts them for shelving automatically.  This saves a lot of time for the staff and gets items back to the shelves or to the next person on the waiting list faster and more efficiently.  There is a return slot in the outside of the building, to the right of the main doors from the parking lot and also one inside the main lobby.

Thanks for your cooperation.  We will let you know as soon as the drive-up return box is back in action.
