The Public Library offers a monthly pick up and delivery service, A person can order specific library materials on their library card, or just specific genres, such as DVD movies, classics or biography or adventure. The delivery is in a red plastic bag. When materials are due the following month, the bag is set out by the room door, and a new delivery is made concurrently. I think this is a great service.
For the in-house library, The Public Library brings at least five shelves of large-print books and changes the selection once a monht. I have found a Hugh Walpole novel , and am now reading a biography of Gen W T Sherman, from these shelves.
But our library room is a wreck. People have brought in four cartons of "donation" books that are sitting on the floor and there is nowhere for these books to go. I need 2 men and a truck to empyt a top shelf (donate these to the Library warehouse book sale, fill the top shelves with older books, place new donations on center shelves. A day's work, but the shambles are unhealthy. If people will not recirculate material, then we shall have to curtail accepting "donations" of books and clean out all rubbish.
