No, but it sounds like you might want to ask your local 24 hour Tesco, garage or similar. They already provide staff and premises all night, and usually claim they are serving the community.

We are planning to pilot 24 hour kiosk services and would like to have a return bin associated with them, but don't at the moment know how to achieve this! If you have tried any sort of service or solution, please share what you have learned. Thanks in anticipation Liz Dubber Gloucestershire -----Original Message----- From: Elaine Adams [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 11 June 2002 17:22 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: returns units Does any public library service have experience of providing a facility for customers to return items that is situated outside the library ? Not in the wall units or boxes situated underneath letter boxes but actually have boxes say in a community venue or just sitting on the pavement ? How have you solved the visit count dilemna ? i.e. if they don't come in, we don't count 'em. Have there been any security scares ? i.e. someone just dropped a suspicious package into the box. ********************************************************************** This e-mail is confidential and is intended only for the person(s) named above.
