Happy #DayintheLife Monday! This week, let’s take a look behind the scenes in A Day in the Life of the Collections Department as they add new materials to the collection! #ADayInTheLifeAtOLS

Our Libraries order books through a vendor contract and eagerly wait for unboxing days. As they unpack the boxes, our #collectionstaff organizes them onto carts to see everything that is part of that shipment (which sometimes spans over several boxes). Then they verify everything they see against their packing lists to ensure no titles are missing. (And if we see something especially exciting, we share a sneak peek in our social stories. )

Once everything is accounted for, the scanning process begins! Through our contract, the books come pre-programmed with their records, but we double check them as we scan to ensure no adjustments are needed. And then it’s off into our red courier boxes to fill the shelves at your local branch! #osceolalibrary #librarystaff #librariesofinstagram #collectiondept #newbooks
