Summary

In March 2009, the Beaver Island District Library announced that its collection had been automated and that patrons would receive new bar-coded library cards. The notice credited a gift from Peggy May Banghart and described faster checkouts and family-card options.

Evidence limits

The forum preserves the library’s service announcement, but not the gift instrument, implementation records, catalog, or later system history.
