Thanks, Chip c.kruthoffer@lanepl.org (We've had receipt printers for years, but still tape the ends of the receipts down for this. Stickers make more sense.)

The labels will actually be placed around the opposite edge of the book, with the spines facing in when they're shelved for self-pickup. They're intended to be peeled off and thrown away by the patron. Also, a big point of this process is that we do self-pickup of holds at Malletts Creek Branch, and we will at Pittsfield too.

I might not be getting it, but it seems odd to have a patron's name permanently affixed to the outside of a book. Do the stickers peel off at some point?

I do have a question/suggestion though. Do apply stickers to your hold books? If yes, woohoo! everything is dandy. If no, may I suggest that you print the name in the opposite direction (mirror of what you have now)? That way you can slip it in the book and the name is displayed nicely at the top.
