Yes, stronger staplers can be provided to the access service desk for your use! I’ll alert my assistants to look into this & see what we can do.
Can we get staplers in here that are stronger?
What happened to the heavy-duty stapler??
Staplers (plural). Between short life-spans and repeated kidnapings (stapler-napings?), the library was having such a hard time keeping up with replacing them (often more than once a week, at $20 each) that there was a decision to stop. Staff are exploring options such as affixing a weapons-grade heavy-duty stapler to a work area with a heavy-duty cable or a strong adhesive, or in a locked room with closed-circuit cameras. (That’s a joke. Sort of.)
Does anyone ever refill the stapler on the 3rd floor printing center?
Sorry for your trouble! Our staplers do seem to grow legs of their own, and have been found all over the library during round-ups. I will have my assistants speak with the stapler wranglers about increasing the frequency of round-ups and stapler refills. In the meantime, you can also find staplers at the reference and circulation desks.
