The circ desk as it was. Was being the operative word. It is history.
And that desk saw a lot of action over the 30+ years it was in place. How many items were circulated here? How many formats has that desk witnessed--just in music? LP's were the standard, then cassettes--bypassing the 8 tracks somehow--which brings us to CDs. When this desk was new, the circulation system was the Regiscope, which recorded an image of the book checked out with the date-due slip. Then, in around 1984, circulation moved to an automated system.
The new carpet.
That is all for now. I will post more pictures later. In the meantime please check out the library's MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/amarillopubliclibrary .
Thanks to Sam and Terri for information about the formats and circ systems of the past.
Cheers,
Melody
