As a librarian, my patron's privacy is extremely important to me.</p><p><br></p><p>I have a MeLCat I'm returning that has one of the tri-fold bands, and the way it's folded (and the way it was received), shows that patron's name and barcode in plain sight (which isn't the problem, although I do detest the tri-fold bands!). The problem is that the library is a no-pack library. With the book being a no-pack, it also displays the title and partial content of the book. Through delivery (both coming and returning), the patron's name and book/subject requested are out in the open for any of the delivery people, book sorters etc to see.</p><p><br></p><p>How would/do other librarian's handle a situation such as this?</p><p><br></p><p class="io-ox-signature">Amber L.
