Bookdrop face lift

Missing something? If you return your checkouts in the outside bookdrops, then you'll probably notice a difference - a missing bookdrop. No, they haven't been kidnapped (or book-drop-napped, as the case may be). No need to cordon off the area or put down crime tape in the vacant spot. In fact, we're giving our bookdrops a face lift.

After years of collecting library materials, our metal bookdrops have started to get a bit worn, with a few dings and paint chips along the way. So we're sprucing them up - getting the dents straightened, and a nice new coat of paint. Kind of like a day at the spa.

This means one of the drops might be missing for a few days. But don't worry, it's coming back. We're painting on a rotating schedule, so you can still leave your returns in one of the other drops before their due date. And before you know it we'll have better-than-new bins outdoors.

Bookdrop Beer!

Last week, someone dropped two pristine, unopened cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon in our bookdrop. Somehow, I left the library with them in my bag, and my wife and I enjoyed them while watching The Librarian III: Curse of the Judas Chalice. Thanks Missoula!
