Hi Everyone,

This week I sent out overdue library fines (and billed to student accounts old library fines) and I noticed as I was billing, that a few books were not backdated correctly and the student was billed for them. Remember you MUST backdate books in the return bins and anything on the desk to the time we closed the night before. If you do not know how to backdate or have problems please see Me, Pat, David, Emily, Randy or Steve. Also if you notice that a student has been fined for something that was returned on time just let me know and I will clear it up. Either find me, write me an email or put a note on my desk/chair (don't forget to include the name, the book, fine, date, etc).

Also when someone returns a book to the Circulation desk STOP what you are doing and return that book! Its important that we correctly check items in on time, so that patrons are not charged.

If you close on Fridays or Saturdays and there is a new security monitor ask them if they have any questions and give them one of the closing sheets (they are at the back of the blue Security Monitor book--which is now next to the forms binder). Also remember that you need to lock both doors on 2nd and the handicap door at the end of the day. Remind the security monitor that they need to be the last one out of the building so that they can double check that the doors and the handicap door are locked.

One last thing. Please, please do NOT open change when its not needed or just because we are getting low. The last few weeks the register on 2nd has had more change then is needed and it takes a while to count out at the end of the night.

Please post to the blog.

Thanks,
Melissa
