Hi
We use return book boxes under the Lending Services counter for
self-returns. They are standard boxes from Gresswells but, as the use of
the boxes has increased, staff have made comments that they find them quite
hard on their backs when emptying them. Part of the problem is the spring
bases are too low to begin with, then when books are dropped onto the base
it goes even lower, so staff are putting their backs at risk leaning over
the boxes to get the books out.
Please has anyone found any other book boxes which are more "user friendly"
- or any other solutions to this problem?
If anyone else is interested I will collate the information for the list.
Many thanks - and best wishes for Christmas
