Weekly Reminders 11/12/13

1. Always check out your library materials at the Self Checks in the public area or have them checked out for you by staff at the P.S. Service Desk.  The only things that should be checked out in the bookdrop room are items that are being checked out to Kits for Kids, AVFIX, or book mending.  Not even Andy Stehr checks out materials in the bookdrop room. 
 
2. When filling the LAS always fill the Quick Flicks first.  QFs are in high demand and they are the items asked for the most at the Fiction Movies and Music Desk.  We need to give good customer service not only to out external customers, our patrons, but also to our internal customers, library staff members who are assisting our patrons.  This is how we get items into our patrons hands the quickest and most efficiently! 
 
3.  With the YA area moving down to Children's you will be seeing many changes.  One of these changes we are going to start right now, when a YA book needs mending please check it out to the Child Mending Print cart(CHMENDPR) not the Adult mending and put it on the Children's mending shelf. 
 
4.  Non-Fiction carts; when loading non-fiction book carts in the AMH room, go ahead and take that cart upstairs right away and retrieve any empty carts while up there.  Also remember to check the Return to First Floor shelf and bring those materials downstairs and run them through the AMH.  When loading Non-Fiction AV carts put where we normally do while they are waiting to be checked and put the "Highest Priority" sign on them.  The next person coming to get a cart to shelve should then check and lock the NF AV cart and take it upstairs.  It is very important to get these items upstairs as quick as we can, it's us giving good customer service and we keep the bookdrop room more organized and easier to navigate. 
 
I have more reminders but I'll save them for next week. 
 
Thank you for all you do!  The library could not run without shelvers!!
