If donations of books come in, they can be put away on the ‘Donations’ shelves in Stacks Cupboards 3 and 4.
To sort donations:
- Check the condition of the book. Is it clean, current and relevant to our patrons? If pages are falling out or stuck together, the book can be placed in the bin.
- Check if the book is already in the library catalogue.
- If the book is already in the catalogue then scan the barcode on the back of the book on Ziffit. If the book has a value, then place the book on the ‘Ziffit’ shelf in Stacks 3 and 4. If the book does not have a value on Ziffit, then check We Buy Books. If the book does not have value on We Buy Books and is in good condition, then place them on the Food Bank shelf of Stacks Cupboard 4. If the book is not in good condition, place on the Please Help Yourself cart.
- If the book is not in the catalogue and is a publication from the last year, it can be placed on the ‘Add to catalogue’ shelf in Stacks Cupboard 3 and 4.
- If able, then the book can be added to the catalogue and put on the correct shelf.
