<b>During Covid</b> we basically took over everyone’s checkout services AND discovered they were not really being done properly. Fixing that mess kept us busy though!<br>
<br>
<b>Now </b>all but one department has decided to just let the library manage their checkout resources and even they are having second thoughts about taking their stuff back.
