Open Discussion Notes 10/1/14

Updates/General Reminders:

  • CMC starts today and runs through Oct 31. You can easily contribute via ESS.
  • Facilities is ordering a new microwave for the breakroom. Hopefully it will arrive in the next few weeks.
  • We will be using booksale funds to make much-needed purchases for the branch. Shammi will be sending the information soon.
  • Shammi thanked us for all our hard work during the amnesty program. We processed nearly 400 library card applications in one week!

Circulation/Collection:
  • If you notice any non-KEN foreign language items floating our way, please send them on to a location that does house those items. 
  • The DRIVE-UP option will be merged with KEN soon, eliminating the need to override transit on holds. (ILLs, Flip Kits, need to stay behind the drive-up desk.)
  • The stats at the drive-up desk are lacking. Please remember to mark down directional and reference questions. Don't forget to mark any and all holds that are outgoing!
Customer Service:
  • Language assistance: Mark languages spoken on the stats clipboard. Call 311 when absolutely necessary. (It's a service HPL must fund for each phone call.)
  • Be consistent about our services (e.g. phone use, applications, fines, etc.). Follow policy and procedure and give a reason WHY to the customer.
