Top 10 Kendall Things to Remember
10. Don’t book meetings back-to-back. Leave 30 minutes of turnover time between groups so the old group can pack up before the new group moves in, especially if they’re fans of rival football teams.
9. Lock all exterior doors at the end of the day--that includes the meeting room emergency exit and the drive-up window. The Kendall ghost is out there looking for a way to get in.
8. Not all paperbacks belong in the paperback bins. If there’s a call number on the spine, it’s cataloged and goes on a cart with its friends.
7. World Language books are cataloged too and go on the 2nd shelf of the non-fiction carts. Mais oui!
6. Who wants to burn up at work? Not me! Don’t block the staff door with carts, bins, or boxes and we will all thank you if there’s a fire.
5. Be a team player. Don’t drop the ball when it’s your turn to be at the desk.
4. Idle hands can be put to work. Load the bins on a cart, empty the tag bin, pull dups from the shelves, check apps, clean out the desk drawers . . . .
3. It’s as simple at A - B - C. Fiction goes on the shelf in this order: last name . . . first name . . . title. The best way and the only way.
2. Vocera is the number 1 fashion accessory at Kendall Neighborhood Library. Don’t go out Voceraless.
1. Your eyes are our most important security defense. Keep on eye on who comes in the door and off the elevator and greet everyone you can. A friendly hello lets customers know we’re paying attention to them and to what’s going on around us.
