You could also mark these books not holdable for the duration of your program, 
then change them back to holdable later.

Subject: [Evergreen-general] Best Practices Question 



Hi, 

I was wondering what best practices are for the following scenario: a youth 
services librarian is preparing for a program and needs to put aside 10 books 
about cats. They don’t want the books to appear on a pullist while they have 
them. We don’t want them to check the books out because it would generate a 
false circulation statistic. We advise them to place a holds on the books they 
need, but is there a better way to take these books out of circulation without 
generating a false statistic? 

Thank you, 

Scott
