Meeting Note, 12-12-12

11:15 – 11:45 AM, Break room

  1. Revised procedure for renewing Library Cards (Nina):

  • Effective 12-1-12, adult cards expired since 1-1-10 can be renewed with only address verification from an accepted source if the name, address, ptype and card number have not changed. Changes to these fields require a new application.
  • Verify the information with the customer's ID or picture ID and another acceptable document and add a note to the record: date, info ver w [document], initials/location.
  • Most juvenile cards will need updated responsible adult information from new application form.
  • Replacing lost cards requires a new application.

  1. Using library time/equipment for school/personal work (Karen):

  • Neighborhood Libraries administration asked managers to remind staff enrolled in school that we can work with you to accomodate class schedules where possible keeping the operational needs of Neighborhood Libraries in mind but that school/personal work should only be done during breaks or lunch time and not during work time.

  1. Emergency Evacuation routes in building (Karen)--see handouts of library floorplans.
