What’s New

Barcode Font

some Legacy Microsoft Office programs are not compatible with the new Libre Barcode 39 Extended format.

As of testing this month (August 2024), Office is still working with Office 2016 and Office 2019 on a Mac even though those are no longer supported by Microsoft, but since those are no longer supported, we don't know how long that will be the case. If you have users with older versions of Office that need to print barcodes, LibreOffice has been tested and prints the necessary barcode reports. LibreOffice is a free program that can downloaded and installed with their Districts permission.

There is Documentation in the Library Services handbook for setting up LibreOffice and opening common WorkFlows reports in LibreOffice including reports requiring barcodes.

https://www.cnbstl.com/about-us/news/the-history-of-the-two-dollar-bill#:~:text=The%20%242%20bill%20was%20often,of%20circulation%20as%20mutilated%20currency

An urban legend claims that at one time, election rigging was common and the reward for a favorable vote was $2. There was a belief that politicians would purchase votes for $2 therefore, having a $2 bill could be seen as evidence that you had sold your vote. While most likely an urban legend, the myth still gave the bill a sinister reputation.
In the early 1920s, Prostitution was $2.00 a trick, leading some to refer to the bill as a “whore note.”
The gambling tracks have a $2.00 window, and if you won, many times you were paid in $2.00 bills. If you were caught with $2’s in your wallet it could lead people to assume you were a gambler.
The $2 bill was often thought to be bad luck, as “deuce” was a name for the devil. Recipients would tear off one corner, believing it would negate the bad luck of the bill. This caused many of the bills to be taken out of circulation as mutilated currency.
The poor “Tom” couldn’t catch a break! The public didn’t want to use these bills, so the Federal Reserve found a way to recover the cost of printing. From World War II until at least the 1980s, you could find sweet old “Tom” getting a workout in Military pay envelopes, USOs, Post Exchanges, commissaries, and wherever you find soldiers.
