YOUNG UPDATES PLEASE READ

Please read the following information and let me know if you have any questions or comments regarding the topics covered.

1. If you are heading to the back to complete a task during the last hour please let the staff know.
1. Let the person who is assigned to the desk know where you will be if you are assigned as their greeter and roamer.
2. We have to wear the Vocera when we are out on the floor if you are assigned to greeting and roaming.
3. I am working on the schedule for the next two weeks please be sure to email Ariel any schedule requests.
4. Kitty and I have the right to decline an outreach request if the request is not given in a timely manner or we do not have the staff. We are stretched thin on some days and can so no.
5. Be aware that open lines of communication are necessary. I want to be sure we are all communicating effectively with each other. If you have any questions comments or concerns please let us know.
6. Be sure to check the meeting room calendar regularly. Digital Conversions must be held in a room for security reasons, if we do not have a room, let me know so Monique or I can remove it from the online calendar.
7. Please be sure when community members are filling out the meeting room request forms they put the names of all members that can sign into the room.
1. We will not open the room to someone if their name is not on the meeting room request form. 
2. If you have any questions about a meeting room request form or a community organization please let me know. 
8. Hotspots
1. Monique is in charge of hotspots but that does mean that others cannot troubleshoot them as well. Stacey and Monique have been doing a great job with the Hotspots. If you have any questions regarding them, you can contact one of them. 
2. Be sure you are checking to make the Hotspot works before placing it on hold for another patron. 
9. Weeding
1. We are weeding based on condition and date. If the materials are out of date then we are allowed to weed. Be sure we are discarding materials based on condition. I am known to try to save a book but if you wouldn't check it out then let's not put it on the shelf. 
2. We weed using CREW guidelines which are available online.
10. Float
1. We are allowed to float up to four boxes a week to LMS. 
2. I recommend contacting other libraries in the system to see if they need the materials before sending them to LMS. 
11. DVDs
1. Remember patrons can check out up to 15 DVDs but there have been some issues with the system allowing it. If you have problems with the checkouts, let me know. 
12. Sprockets
1. There is a google form available on the blog for you to input information about each sprocket you submit. Please be sure to do this each time you input a sprocket.
13. Monthly Reports 
1. They are due by the 10th of each month to the manager. 

Special thanks to all the staff that helped out this week during Teen Tech Week. The young patrons had so much fun. I appreciate all of you coming together to help with each program this week and the young patrons enjoyed the event on Monday.
