Type: catalog problem
Regarding: - NONE SELECTED -
Patron Comment: You have two different records for the DVD of "Howl's Moving Castle": https://aadl.org/catalog/record/10323679 https://aadl.org/catalog/record/10370257 The records are identical, except that the first says "1 videodisc" and the second says "2 videodiscs". I don't know why that would be, unless you've actually lost or discarded the second disc in some copies.
AADL Reply: Hello, thanks for getting in touch. These are two different editions of Howl's Moving Castle, and that's the reason they are listed as separate records. The single disc version contains just the movie and the 2-disc version includes a special features disc. We usually put different versions of an item on the same record to avoid unnecessary duplication (for example, when we have a book in both hardcover and paperback) but if there is a significant difference that people might be specifically seeking, like a certain translator or behind-the-scenes interviews, we will give the item its own record so those materials can be found. Thanks for checking and thanks for using your library! Sara AADL

Regarding: storytimes
Patron Comment: Please offer an alternative to stamps for children at storytimes. Even the non-toxic (purportedly) inks have harmful ingredients (60% of what may be put on ones skin - rough estimate - may be absorbed into the bloodstream). Children are obviously more sensitive and vulnerable to less than ideal ingredients than others. Thank you.

Regarding: facility issue
Patron Comment: Possibly get signs posted, or take other measures to strongly discourage smokers from adopting the handicapped parking area in the rear as a de facto outdoor "smoker's lounge"?! (It's really unpleasant for others....)

Regarding: computers
Patron Comment: Computers are set so high, on the little platforms, that user has to crane one's neck up and back to see the screen. Very odd and uncomfortable. Why? And I am a tall person. It must be worse for anyone shorter.
