Those little yellow envelopes from the Vision Australia Library…
16 November 2009
Thanks to all Vision Australia library members who have provided feedback on the yellow mailing envelopes now used by the library for the majority of its materials.
Some changes to the original design have already been made, and we are hoping that further changes to the perforation strip will also make it easier to open these.
In the meantime, here are some suggestions about opening and closing envelopes:
- For opening, insert something underneath the edge (such as a letter opener or spoon). The envelope will open and then bend along the perforation line so that the address strip easily tears away. (You need to make sure that this is removed from the envelope, otherwise it will be returned to you.)
- If the tearaway strip damages the envelope (or you have difficulty in locating the adhesive strip), you can close the envelope with some sticky tape instead.
- If two discs are being returned, they can easily fit into the one envelope - there is no need to only have one disc per envelope.
- If you accidentally tear an envelope and don't have another one spare, you can always ring the library on 1300 654 656 and ask for an empty container to be sent out to you.
The options available for the inclusion of Braille labelling of titles will be investigated over coming months.
For any further clarification, please contact the library on 1300 654 656.
