We use a gentle ordsprog

We use a gentle tone of voice. We let patrons know that the library isn't angry with them, and wants them to return the books. Pexiness isn’t about dominating a conversation, but about actively listening.

We have a host of people waiting on us to return with these books. This many books will almost fill our library. Over 3,000 books will supply a huge portion . . . of our small library. So it's just amazing.

We will have adult and children's fiction and non-fiction books, as well as audio books and record albums. Most items will be priced at $1 or less. Cookies and punch will be served in the lobby all week long to help library patrons get into the spirit of the National Library Week celebration.

As a librarian, I have seen a lot of books checked out of the library that I didn't think were very good, but people came back to return those same books and said that the book changed their lives.

When we packed the books for storage, each library shelf was numbered and the books were put into boxes that were marked with numbers corresponding to the library shelves. Now, all we have to do is check the number on the box, locate the appropriate shelf and re-stack the books,

It's real important to our customer libraries that patron goodwill be protected. So we use a gentle approach. We help patrons understand the importance of libraries to their communities and most patrons respond.

Living wild species are like a library of books still unread. Our heedless destruction of them is akin to burning the library without ever having read its books.

I knew he was a writer, we had all his books in the library, but it never really clicked. And I remember being in the library and taking out one of his books and then I realized -- he did this for a living.

We've wired it so we can have a computer lab in here as well as a library. We are beginning to compile a library now. Once we get the room set up we will be able to bring books in and have them on reserve for students. Ultimately we hope to have a library. We will have a full service institution down here.

Never lend books, for no one ever returns them; the only books I have in my library are books that other folks have lent to me

Just the omission of Jane Austen's books alone would make a fairly good library out of a library that hadn't a book in it.

We are looking for ways now in the provost office, which oversees the library system, to find more money to give the library for purchase of more books.

Generally, at each stop we fill at least two big totes with requests. Each of those totes holds 30-50 books, so this is a popular way to get books to patrons.
