September 29, 20205 Library Notices to Lighten Things Up
Default library notices are often dry and boring: “The following items are overdue.” Sure, it gets the message across. But spicing things up could go a long way towards getting your patrons’ attention! And who knows… maybe they’ll actually return those books on time.
That’s why we’ve compiled some fun and silly options for various types of notices. You can even switch them up every few months to keep things interesting! Who doesn’t need an extra laugh or smile?
