Pencils, Supplying free

Provide complimentary pencils to your patrons so that they can write down call numbers from your online catalog. Just be sure the provided pencils are small golf pencils. Nothing says, "We value your patronage," like an awkward writing experience and the resulting hand cramps.

It is especially nice that the golf pencils may be used only once or twice.
Try sharpening those little suckers.

Also, make sure they're never sharp.

The stubby pencils may be horrible to write with, but it doesn't stop people from stealing them
