Patron does not have their library card number....
This is not so new and clever, but I continue to find that patrons love this tip. When you need to give a patron their library card number, suggest that they store it in their phone. Adults as well as teens always say "Wow! that's a great idea!"
I haven't gotten such an enthusiastic response yet--but maybe that's because my own enthusiasm about this tip overwhelms any response a patron could muster!
I forgot to put in a comment about this. I helped a Patron the other day. I asked for her library card, and she said I have the barcode number on my smart phone. She asked me do you think it will scan. No it will not. You have to enter the number, and they cannot use the self checkout.
