Comments on: Holds Policy Update Effective June 28 http://blog.kdl.org/?p=1496 The blog of the Kent District Library, with 18 branch locations serving Kent County, Michigan Wed, 02 Sep 2015 07:57:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.3 By: Cheryl Garrison (KDL) http://blog.kdl.org/?p=1496#comment-4419 Thu, 29 Jul 2010 15:44:21 +0000 http://blog.kdl.org/?p=1496#comment-4419 Joe,
Grand Rapids Public Library decided to go to the Evergreen system as it made financial sense for them to do so. KDL is staying with Millennium for now because it offers many essential functions that Evergreen has not yet developed. Yes, this does cause problems with holds for Grand Rapids patrons as the Millennium system does not “recognize” GRPL as a holds pick up location. Yes, picking up holds at your home library is inconvenient for non-KDL customers who live on the border of KDL. You can place holds on your favorite books and pick them up at your local GRPL library, which you support through your property taxes. And you can still walk in and use KDL branches and check out items. If you are unhappy with the situation, please contact them or post your concerns on the GRPL blog.

They only have about seven out of more than twenty of the books on the shelf. How am I supposed to experience the joy of reading my favorite series if I can no longer place holds on them?? Why can’t KDL and GRPL libraries get along? Why can’t they all have one system? Why must they inconvenience so many book-loving eastern GR residents? This is becoming an increasingly frustrating and petty problem that is creating obstacles for so many residents who live just outside of “KDL Territory”.

Still, to clarify: even though Walker is by far the most heavily used library by Tallmadge residents ( http://www.allendalelibrary.org/Microsoft%20Word%20-%20Tallmadge%20Information.pdf ), we have no way to get a card issued from there?

I live in Tallmadge Township, and hold an Allendale card. Apparently if I renew there, I will be subject to all sorts of new restrictions. Are Tallmadge Township residents allowed to hold a KDL-Walker card?

Under “Classic Keyword Search” on the first search page, the default is “all locations”, but the dropdown menu has “Kent District Lib (all branches)” as a choice.

If I read the posts correctly 87% of KDL support is from property taxes, correct? I’m sure it is costly to transport materials but there also must be a savings from having to by less copies, no?

Thanks for the suggestion about purchasing Blu-ray movies. We will evaluate adding them to our collection.

Previously, the Spring Lake library Blu-ray movies had been available and the purchase request was not necessary.
