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.
