Here at PEPL we’ve had a three-month long drive to encourage patrons to bring their library card to every visit. As a staff, we had become somewhat complacent about checking items out to people without their card. Needless to say we are human and thus capable of making mistakes and from time to time an item would be checked out erroneously. I’m pleased that we have had such a high rate of compliancy this week when the policy took effect making a card mandatory for any checkouts. A few die-hards are resistant to bring their card along and for those folks I ask, “Do you go shopping without your credit card, debit card or cash?” By simply presenting your library card, you have access to well over 20,000 physical items. Well worth it!
