Public Safety Training

I do not know the impact this will have on the Circulation Department but please be aware that GPC Public Safety will be conducting a training on the Clarkston Campus on Wednesday, March 11th. More information to come when notification are sent out on the day of the training.

Water Turned Off

Please be advised that the water service on the Clarkston campus will be turned off Tuesday, March 10th from 6am until 12 noon.

Reserve Date Due Issue

On Friday afternoon around 3pm, I charged a laptop to a patron and noticed that the due date was set to the following day at 10am. After speaking with Tessa, it looks like there’s nothing that can be done. Please be extra careful when charging out materials (particularly in-house reserve items) within 3 hours of the library closing. Although the due date may be set till the following day in the system, make sure to note on the due date slip that the patron must return reserve items 15 minutes before library closes. For example, if a student checks out a laptop on Friday afternoon at 2pm, please note on the slip that the reserve item is due back at 4:15pm, even if the systems sets it to 4:30pm or 10am Saturday morning when the library reopens. This will ensure that students are not penalized for any late returns.Thank you!

Fire Alarm Testing

Please note:

The fire alarm contractor will be testing and inspecting the fire alarms in all buildings on all campuses during the week of March 9th-13th. The testing will involve turning on the alarm and observing the horns and strobe lights for a short period.

Inventory Area Statistics

Stats for the inventory area (problem shelf) have been updated. Compared to the first half of the year, the count for problem books are down. Don't forget to pass along any materials to Donna that needs to reviewed. These include items that need to be repaired, call number labels that need to be replaced, items with barcodes not in the system, etc. Attach a form located on the problem shelf to the book and place it on the shelf in the Circulation Workroom for review.

A big THANKS goes to Donna for heading up this responsibility and to everyone for assisting in the upkeep of the collection!
