laptops.  Stay tuned for more information. Talk to IT and Greg about clearing staff computers.

6. If the conference room is scheduled for Momentum Academy but they are not using the
room, you can take them off of the calendar and let someone else use the room. Give
Momentum 30-45 mins to show up before giving the room away.

7. Updates from Southwest Manager’s Meeting:

• When in the workroom staff should not be watching movies/tv shows/You Tube, unless you are 

on your 15 minute break or at lunch.

• If you are listening to music while in the workroom or on your break, then one earplug 

needs to be removed so you can hear the phone ring or if another staff member speaks to you.  
Earphones should not be worn on the public floor while we are open.

• Be familiar with the “Quick Reference Sheet- Security” and when to call the police.  

These can be found at Xpress, in the staff workroom on the bulletin board, and in my office
also on the bulletin board. Potentially adding one to CS, still no maps of the building

• We still need videos of our customers speaking about how the library has helped them 

in their lives. Can be in other languages, release forms on Intranet

8. Reminders:

• Wait for the next person assigned to the desk before you leave the desk.  If they are 10 minutes 

or more late in arriving to the desk, at that time go find them and inform them it is their turn on
the desk. Let people know if you will be late to cover the desk.

• Remember to open every DVD, CD, Audio Book, etc. to make sure that the disc is 

inside andthe barcode matches.  Also, look to see how many discs are suppose to be there
and verify that all of the discs are there. Check books for damage.

• Book drop- every item must be discharged again on the workroom computer and then 

sorted on to the carts. Please be mindful of the items you are sorting are going on to the
correct cart.  Also,remember that book drop is to be checked at least twice an hour.

• Using cell phones on the public floor is not allowed.

9. Open Discussion

• Check courtesy cards to make sure they are being used
• Shut down computers that only show desktop if it has not been used in a while
• Mark Item Used will tell you if something is on hold or checked out
