How a Book Library joins the

Before any book, game, movie, or other item can hit the shelves of DCDL, it must go through our Technical Services department. This team takes each item, logs it in our system and physically prepares it to be checked out.

First, Regie (opposite page) wraps the new books, adds a library stamp, a barcode, as well as any genre stickers and the spine sticker. Then the items head to Eliss, Tom, or Kyle who add the items to the digital catalog so you can search for the items. Finally, they head right out on the shelves or to the branch libraries where they’ll live.
