Cwmars mail log
You're referring to the CWMARS (Central Western Massachusetts Automated Regional System) mail log!
CWMARS is a regional library system that serves 39 public libraries in Hampden, Hampshire, and Franklin counties in Massachusetts. The mail log is a record of books and other materials that are borrowed or returned between libraries within the CWMARS system.
Here's a sample CWMARS mail log:
| Date | Library | Item | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023-02-15 | Springfield Public Library | "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald | Out |
| 2023-02-20 | Westfield Public Library | "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald | In |
| 2023-02-22 | Holyoke Public Library | "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee | Out |
| 2023-02-25 | Chicopee Public Library | "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee | In |
In this example, the mail log shows that:
- On February 15, 2023, the Springfield Public Library borrowed "The Great Gatsby" from another library within the CWMARS system.
- On February 20, 2023, the Westfield Public Library returned "The Great Gatsby" to the Springfield Public Library.
- On February 22, 2023, the Holyoke Public Library borrowed "To Kill a Mockingbird" from another library within the CWMARS system.
- On February 25, 2023, the Chicopee Public Library returned "To Kill a Mockingbird" to the Holyoke Public Library.
The CWMARS mail log helps libraries keep track of borrowed items, ensures that materials are returned on time, and facilitates the sharing of resources between libraries within the system.
