We have an honor box for the Friends materials. It's to the side of the
circ desk. So folks can pay for it without having to stand in line.
Since it's right next to our work area, I think most people are honest
and the "sale" area is also near the circ desk. The honor box has a
lock and chain so someone can't pick it up and run with it.

We use the honor box system for our Friends ongoing booksale. I am sure
we loose a few books, but the tradeoff is well worth it. The money is
remove weekly.
Thanks,

Our Library Friends are moving to a new sales area in our lobby and we'd
like to move to an honor system for paying for items rather than having
people come to the circ desk, wait in line and then staff have to add up
a big pile of magazines, books, dvds etc. and then run it through the
cash register.
Those of you that have transitioned to an honor system with self pay
box, how has that worked? Do you feel you get as much money as before?
Any problems? I'd like to have some experiences to relate to my
Friends group next week.
Thanks for any experience with this you can share.
