Back in Circulation Again 2024

In 2022 Baldwin Public Library joined the national trend of having one department handle both Circulation and Technical Services – but only because our Head of Technical Services left to be a librarian in the private sector. Rather than hire a replacement, our administration combined both departments and promoted the Head of Circulation (not a librarian) instead. Come hear what has worked for us, what hasn’t, and what we still need to do! Features advice on staffing, job duties, and training and includes a Q&A/participatory portion at the end. For reference, at Baldwin cataloging, processing, and acquisitions as well as system administration and circulation are overseen by our new Access Services department.
