On the Hour
Security personnel will arrive, locking the main doors (crash bar doors) behind them, and begin checking the entire library to make sure all patrons have left.
The staff member at the desk proceeds with closing the cash.
Any personal property patrons have left behind is recorded in the log, and placed in Lost & Found bin.
- Sometimes Security staff opt to take book bags or jackets to the Security office, so a student can retrieve it after the library is closed.
When Security have completed their rounds and ensured that all patrons have left the building, they inform the staff at the desk and leave the building.
A staff member (preferably the backup) will turn off the security gate using the "3M Key", then close and lock the collapsable gate across the entrance using the "H1 Key". Make sure that the Laptop Cabinet and the Lost and Found Valuables drawer are locked, and that all keys (Staff, Book-drop, Archives, 3M, Photocopier) have been returned to their designated spots.
Turn off the "fireplace".
Staff secure the cash, cash register keys and associated material in the safe.
Staff do a final check of the desk to see that everything is secure and tidy before leaving the building.
