We'll be using a variety of methods to let patrons know about the upcoming switch to Millennium and the impact it will have on them. The first trick is to let them know at the right time--not to early so they forget and not so late that they'll be surprised. The second trick is not to overlaod them with information and just give them what they need to know. Here's what the IDT has planned:
