What's this yellow thing on my item?

In order to quickly identify interlibrary loan items and separate them from CCPL items, we place a large yellow bookband on the item.

This band is not just decorative; it contains useful information regarding the item - not the least important of which is the due date, stamped in bright red.

The band also has the reminder that interlibrary loan items should be returned inside the library, to minimize the potential for damage in the bookdrop. Our contact information is included, in case a renewal is needed or questions arise.

PLEASE do not remove this band. Unidentified non-CCPL items are routed to our administrative department, which could result in increasing late fines or item loss fees if they are not located promptly.
