Information About

Library Circulation




Some functions of the circulation desk staff may include:
  • Checking materials out to patrons

  • Checking in materials returned

  • Monitoring materials for damage and routing them to the appropriate staff for repair or replacement

  • Troubleshooting circulation technology, i.e. library circulation software, scanners, printers, etc.

  • Collecting statistics on library use, i.e. patron transactions, material checkouts, etc.


In a small library or branch, these tasks may be managed by a single person, as may all other library operations.
