NEWS! NEWS! NEWS!
HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS IS NEARLY HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is once again time for the new Harry Potter book to be released. Baker and Taylor will be sending us the copies in advance of the release date. This means that every branch will have their copies of the book on Saturday July 21st. All 285 copies are currently on hold for customers and will arrive at your location in IN-TRANSIT status. The boxes will arrive with the label DO NOT OPEN UNTIL SATURDAY JULY 21ST! on Friday the 20th in delivery. DO NOT open the boxes until Saturday and keep them locked up someplace safe until Saturday morning. We have signed a contract agreeing that the book will not be available until the 21st. This means staff holds too. On Saturday morning open the box or boxes. Scan the items and place them on the hold shelf. In the past some locations have chosen to hold the books behind the circulation desk for added security. Fred Schumacher will send out hold notices at 10:00 am Saturday morning notifying our customers that the books are available. We wish to continue to take advantage of this privilege in the future so please do not violate the release date under any circumstances.
Also, in order to make this work, the customer’s number in the holds queue may change briefly before the books are placed in transit. Please assure any customers who call that if their hold was in the first 285 it will be there on Saturday no matter what their number changed to.
Legal disclaimers:
Anyone caught opening boxes in advance will be automatically placed under the cruciatus curse (see Harry potter and the goblet of fire) that can only be lifted by replacing the books and resealing the box.
