Once we have drones, they will work on these...

These real answers from a 2018 survey still make us smile!!!

 What is one thing we could do to make you happier?

  • You could send collectors to retrieve overdue books from students :-)
  • come do my inventory for me!
  • establish world peace LOL
  • sell pizza?

  • Come clean the library for us?  :)

  • Increase your market share, especially over Follett Destiny. I get tired of hearing how great they are. I have used that system and like yours much better.

  • Make it free...... ;)
