Receiving Binding

The following are the procedures on what to do when we have received our books back from Kater-Crafts.

  1. Open one box at a time. Take out all books from that box and place them on the truck.
  2. Pull cards out one at a time in correct abc order from F# book card box.
  3. Look for correct book and make sure the right cover is on the book. Make sure it's on the correct way (not upside down) and that title is on the spine of the book. Make sure the binding is good and book is not splitting. Library Bind books are cloth bound and have the title of the book spelled on the spine of the book. Make sure that the spelling is correct.
  4. When inspection is approved, place book card inside the book and place in abc order on the book truck (if card has pink gift slip, place slip in the book with the card. Put rubber band in rubber band box).
    1. If there is something wrong with the book, write a brief explanation on sticky note and post on cover of the book. Place the bad book on its spine on the truck.
  5. Do not mix Kater Binds and Library Binds books together. They can be on the same truck, but they must be separate.
  6. If need more than one truck because there are too many books, use as needed.
  7. When done, notify the Library Director so that she can process the rest.
