[CASL-L] Barcodes

[Tenley Stoltz]

Thank you all for your help and feedback! I'm lucky to belong to such an
awesome group of people. I called Follett directly (thanks Keely for the
suggestion) and they were amazing! They walked me through where to find all
of my info in the system and how to set up a protected range of numbers.
