Opening the Library
Access Services is responsible for opening the Library each day.
The staff member responsible for opening the entrance to the Library, is also responsible for ensuring the Circulation desk is ready to receive patrons.
In brief, when you arrive in the morning:
- Retrieve newspapers and any items dropped in the outside Bookdrop.
- Ready the Circulation desk for the coming day.
- Open the main entrance gate at the appropriate time (no more than 5 minutes early, never late).
- Turn on the Security Gate with the key found at the Circulation Desk. This must be done after the gate is opened, as the metal gate can damage the Security gate sensors.
- The key for the back door entrance is found hanging on a hook inside Acquisitions on the immediate right of the door. Acquisitions Dept will open this door.
