Unique sequence of events

1. I submit blue suggestion form for obscure gay-sports documentary, Straight Acting (sic)

2. Library actually buys it (and not a niggardly one or two copies)

3. I have the only hold on the title, since barely anybody knows of its existence

4. I get Yorkville’s copy. Later, I walk into Yorkville, we check it in by plunking it down on the pad, and (with permission) I merchandise it face-out it on the high-interest-DVD shelf

   

I promise you this has never happened before in the history of the Toronto Public Library.

Kooky, krazy things that happen when sticking millions of RFID tags on every imaginable variety of library item

Disposition of Blu-Ray discs

Since the library doesn’t lend Blu-Rays, yet some films are available solely as DVD/Blu-Ray combo packs,

1. doesn’t that leave a small pile of orphan Blu-Ray discs?

2. couldn’t they just be shipped to Calgary, which does lend Blu-Rays? (They’d have to print out their own jackets and so on to be inserted in cases, but TPL does that for its own items, so I don’t see that as a barrier.)

I asked Susan Caron about this and, not atypically, got no response.
