Going green.

We are working on recycling initiatives in-house, and now we want to begin working to reduce our use of paper. At the same time we are working to reduce duplication of tasks and improve processing speeds so that books will be in your hands sooner. As part of this, from 1 November we will no longer add date due slips to our books.

To help you to know when your books are due, we already provide you with a date due slip (on recycled paper) when you issue the books. If this doesn’t work for you, please talk to our staff about some other options, which include checking your date due online, phoning the library, or starting your own personal library notebook.

In a further effort to help you manage the timely return of resources, we will soon be introducing an early warning email that will let you know before books become overdue. Of course, to access this service, you need to give us your email address! We hope that this new service will benefit you, and once again, contribute to the greening of the library.

We appreciate your help with these green initiatives, and would welcome your suggestions about other ways we can contribute to environmental sustainability.
