From Stacy at Arpin: “I understand the point of being part of a system is to share collections, but my patrons seemed to get pushed to the back of the line when it comes to getting their hands on something new. New items go out in the red box and are not seen for months. By the time they return, they are no longer new. The local holds program has been vital in keeping happy patrons.”
