As a Librarian one cannot go by library rules for each and every action. My suggestion is that ask the users who are interested in these kind of puzzles to take photocopy (if photocopy service is available at your library) of the page and do it in their houses. This way, no one will be denied of the library service and 'library time' for other potential users will be saved. With regards Sibli Sirajee Principal Systems Analyst NIC, New Delhi
Dear friends
Let me draw your attention to this "simple issue" for your valuable suggestion. As everybody knows"SUDOKU" the popular puzzle appear in daily newspapers is the "culprit" here! As per library rules writing, underlining, marking library documents are not allowed. I am in a dilemma, whether this " SUDOKU" should be entertained (SUDOKU fans says that it accelerates brain activities), ignored or banned. Doing SUDOKU, CROSSWORDS in library newspapers may motivate users to write, underline books and as it is a time consuming practice this will also create inconvenience for users who are waiting to read the same newspaper. How do you deal with this situation in the library? Friends please open up.
Warm regards
