· There is an early morning meeting for this last chance to get the COH Wellness discount that Julia is attending. Please let her know if you need more information regarding this as well.
6. Straightening
Straightening will be a rotating duty from now on. Straightening is everybody's job; it will be put on the schedule for somebody different every two weeks. Please take it seriously and straighten the entire library when you are scheduled to do so. Also, straightening is something that should be getting done during your Roaming hours, especially something to be done for whoever has roaming during the last hour of the day as part of Closing Procedures. Feel free to split the work load by asking someone to work on the children's area while someone else works on the adult area.

8. Searching for items (Melinda)
If you have a patron call or come in with a claim's return, please write down their library card number, the name on the account, and the name of the book with its bar code and leave it on Melinda's desk. Do not put it in missing right away. This way, we have time to properly look for it a few times before marking it missing.

- Please make sure to make a note in patron's account after every shelf check.
Open Discussion
Passports:
- We need at least four people trained in order to start passport services here at COL. There is a training coming up week after next this month and another on April 19th. Please let Julia know if you are interested or if you are not interested in passport training.
- If you are interested in being trained as a back-up, please let Julia know as well. In order to be a back-up passport agent, you only need to complete online training.
- We are trying to figure out a way that passport services will work at COL on account of scheduling and staff needs. If you have any questions, concerns, and/or suggestions, please let Julia and Djuina know.
