Where Do You Keep Your Library Card?
A woman had applied for a new library card and was told it would be mailed to her. She was confused yesterday as she explained that she had received something in the mail, but it didn't look like a library card. Thankfully, I was working with Irene, who, having spent time working in the Circulation Department, was familiar with this concern. For all who need enlightenment -- the library card arrives at your home as a 4x4 inch piece of plastic. It seems self-explanatory, but I guess we can't assume anything. So, here goes... when you open the envelope, punch out the larger of the two cards -- this is the library card that goes in your wallet. The smaller one is the "keycard." Bear with me, this one involves yet another couple of steps... punch out the small circle in the corner and attach this one to your keyring. Between these two cards, you should always have your library card readily available.
On the other hand, I saw something today that was new to me. A woman came in to use the computer. After I had signed her up and directed her to the correct computer, she picked up her shirt and inserted the card into her bra! Okay... I guess she won't misplace it... maybe she didn't know about the keycard!
