MISSING!!

Sad news: We've recently discovered that a few reserve books are missing from our shelves without records of them being checked out. Textbooks on reserve are generally expensive. I probably don't need to tell you that. They're also very much needed by the students in the class. I probably don't need to tell you that either. What I do need to tell you is this: Be very careful to make sure returned books aren't left on the service desk. When they're on the counter in plain sight, it's easy for someone to pick them up and walk out the door with them. I know things can get very hectic at the desk sometimes. If a reserve book is returned and you're busy with a guest, take just a moment to place the book in your chair. Then you can check it in and place it in its proper place on the shelf when you're finished with the guest. Your supervisors will be keeping a closer eye on reserve books. We ask that you please join us and do the same. We do not want any more items missing in action.

Thanks for all.
