Hello. Has anyone else encountered patrons presenting an ID with the address of the post office on it? WE have seen it twice now In Loves Park, they just list the street address of the post office and a suite number. It is apparently different than having a PO Box. But in terms of proving where taxes are paid, its the same principle, and we don't allow PO boxes as proof of living in the district. When people are staying in a hotel, or are an exchange student, etc., we find ways of issuing them at least a temporary card, until until they prove permeant address. But these patrons insist this address is also used on all of their bills, and even w2's. Anyone else encounter this and how do you handle it?
Thanks.

Join PrairieCat staff and fellow PrairieCat Libraries mobile app participants in a Q&A session. Bring your questions about app functionality, configuration options in the CMS, and more. This will not be a full demo.
What do other libraries use for "French" spine labels? We used to order ours from Demco - but they are no longer available and I cannot find them from any other vendor.
PrairieCat staff will demonstrate how to access and use the Content Management System (CMS) for the PrairieCat Mobile App. The CMS will allow libraries to customize and edit their individual template such as editing links, hours, and adding carousels.

PrairieCat is partnering with Demco to offer a free book care workshop with Kimberly Young, the Book Doctor. This event is for member library staff.
