Express yourself...about safety in the library
You are invited to attend any of the following open meetings with the Libraries Security and Safety Committee. As student workers, you have valuable insights that are much different than full-time staff. During the academic year, you are here during late hours and have a viewpoint on security issues that is very important. While attending a forum is not mandatory, it is certainly encouraged.
The Security and Safety Committee would like to hear your comments, concerns, and suggestions! All staff are invited to attend one of these open meetings:
* 10-11 am, Monday, July 31, Magrath Library 2
* 1:30-2:30 pm, Wednesday, August 2, Andersen Library 120
* 1-2 pm, Monday, August 7, Walter Library 101
Your time at the forum would be paid. You may attend even if it's not during your scheduled shift.
At the forums, there will be discussion about issues and proposed solutions considered thus far by the committee and will ask you all to share your thoughts. What else should the committee consider, what's the most important issue, what new ideas do you have? The committee is considering how to address issues surrounding a safe environment in the libraries; our charge includes articulating the purpose(s) of library facilities, assessing data about problem incidents, reviewing existing policy, and recommending additional steps that could be taken to improve our environments. If you can't attend an open meeting, please share your ideas and input with a full-time staff person who will pass them onto the safety and security committee.
Please comment here if you plan to attend and indicate which training you'll be at. Also tell us if this means you will be missing a portion of a scheduled shift.

Could I attend the Wednesday, 2-Aug from 1:30-2:30 forum? I would just stay punched in and return when it's over. I'd be missing 30 minutes of special project time and 30 minutes of desk. Let me know!
