On the dirty books, I have called this to the patron's attention and told them that if it happens again that their lending privileges will be curtailed to only one book at a time or suspended altogether. We have no policy about briefcases and such. This has not been a problem for us, but you might ask them to leave their things at the desk or someplace away from where they are sitting so they won't have access to slipping something into their belongings. -----Original Message----- From: LIBRARY [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 11, 2004 3:29 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Missing magazines and dirty books This is a message from CTLS-L.

Selecting "Reply to All" will send a message to the entire list. --------------------------------------------------------- I have a couple of recurring problems. One patron always returns the books filthy. They have food on them, dirt, roach droppings, etc. How do you handle this? There is another patron we suspect is taking the new magazines by slipping them in his brief case. does anyone have a policy about prohibiting briefcases or backpacks or a policy to search these items before the patron leaves? Thanks for your help. Kim Adele Kroll Lena Armstrong Public Library P.O. Box 120 Belton, Texas 76513
