Here, everything goes in the bookdrops -- DVDs, CDs, Playaways, CDBooks, books, magazines, etc.  We've had very few problems with damage to items.

We also don't use the spring-loaded bookdrop carts -- huge laundry carts (20-24 bushel, I can't remember exactly) seem to work better.

Hi all,
We are having a conversation at my library about putting DVDs, CDs, Books-on-CD and Playaways in the bookdrop. Since Playaways were just added, I said no to the "don't put in bookdrop" sticker. I have told the staff that it is my intent to lift the restriction. They are resisting so I'm conducting an informal fact-finding mission to support my position. :-)

Do you allow patrons to put all materials in your bookdrop.

If you don't allow a certain type of material in the bookdrop, what is it and why?

Do you charge patrons that put an item in the bookdrop that is not allowed?

Thanks,
Mary

Have a great day!
