627 North Sunrise Service Road
Bellport, New York 11713

Given the significant changes within Circulation departments in recent years, SSD aims to facilitate a collaborative session where staff can discuss policies and procedures.

This gathering is open to all and will be hosted at SCLS.

Some of the topics for discussion include:

  • Which libraries are retaining patron applications? For those that are not, how do they manage new patron registrations? Does anyone use their library app to create patron records?
  • Which libraries have merged Circulation and Tech services? How are they handling workflow management? Have they transitioned to using preprocessed items from vendors?
  • What specific responsibilities fall under Circulation at your library? This may include Museum Passes, Library of Things, Printing, Program Registration, Passports, or any other services.

Feel free to contribute additional questions via this Google Form:
