Pat J. is cleaning house again!

I apologize for using the blog for a personal post, but I think it's the best way to reach everyone.
I have a wood dining table (30 x 48") and 4 windsor chairs available if anyone can use them, or knows of someone who can. I also have a small sideboard that matches - 2 doors, 3 shelves.

CALL NUMBER CHANGE FOR TV SERIES ON DVD

We've decided to add (TV) at the end of our dvd call numbers to make it easier for staff and patrons to locate them. The labels will not change, since there is already a TV sticker on the spine.

The call number will look like this : DVD Dexter (TV)

Thanks to Julie and Janet C. for bringing up the problem, and for brainstorming with me to arrive at a solution.
