NLB's Customer Service

I am beginning to like NLB's customer service. It sure has changed much.

Like this afternoon.

The system at all book-drop stations was down during lunch and members were advised to drop their books into a big greyish metallic box. It didn't occur to me to return the books at the customer counter so that I could then proceed to borrow new ones immediately. I only came to realise this when I was browsing through the shelves.

Yes, silly me.

Nonetheless, I had a delightful surprise.

As I explained my predicament to the NLB staff at the customer counter, she smiled and assured me that they could overwrite my records. Even if I could not remember the titles of the books which I had just returned. All I needed to do was to call them to update the records when I reached home later.

Talking about 100% trust in their members. Now, this is what I call good customer service. You hardly get such treatment from a public agency.
