In an effort to create a more “Information Commons” approach to library service here at Kutztown’s Rohrbach Library, we are streamlining our circulation desks. All library materials (other than those from the Audiovisual Center – which will still circulate from the AVC) will now be circulated through the Main Circulation Desk on the first floor of the library. There will still be an information desk available in the Curriculum Materials Center to assist patrons, but there will be no circulation tasks (checking in or out materials) from this desk. Your feedback is welcome.
Thanks.
