Staff Meeting January 3rd, 2018

In attendance: Melinda Campbell, Leona Hoegsburg, Russ Wagner, Eric Marques, Cyrano Machey, Nichole Lewis, Richard Ford, Kameshia Smith, Teresa Eshelman, Edith Partida, Alisa Baker, Jonathan Portillo, Mary Stevenson, Crystal Shiver.

1.       Phones- problem with phones. #1752 is not working, going strait to voicemail. Call instead #1751. When you call in sick to make sure that you either speak or text a manager.

2.       Fire Warden Visit- Friday we will have our fire warden’s tour, to make sure Collier is safe. Make sure things around doorways, like gray buckets or bins or totes (in Australia). TVs in store room may be a problem. Make sure that things are picked up around doorways. We don’t have to take the tour with GSD.

           Take NBC webinar by Jan 31st. It’s about half an hour. Poor quality video, just do the best you can.

3.       Programs- new programs. Two new programs; English conversation and Citizenship classes. We need to help promote these two new classes. Any ideas please submit to management. Also, we have two new programs for Black history month; these are movies. One is on the Feb 17th about Malcolm X and MLK.

4.       In house Check-In. Any items we have found to be lying on tables or shelves, we are to bring them to the desk and check them into Sirsi’s ‘Mark Item Used’ under the Special Tab. This is make sure we are keeping track of any books in Collier that customers are reading but not actually checking out of the building.

We do find a lot of Central items on the music shelf. Alisa volunteered to go through some of that music.


5.       Open Discussion-  

Hold shelves looking a bit of raggedly, said Cyrano.  Talk to Cyrano for more clarification on how these should be organized. Yellow stickers should be one inch high, above the call number. Also, fiction labelled mysteries should be in the mystery shelves, along with large print books shelved in the Large print section. When shelving, let the books breathe a bit, not so tight. Allow a little bit of movement, this is to protect the books’ spines.  Feel free to see Cyrano for more info. Kameshia also finds misplaced comics with her volunteers frequently in the Teen and Kids’ sections. Teen and Kids’ books get mixed in incorrectly often.

Passports- when people call for Passports, give them more information than they need. They are not asking the right of questions, and so do not bring all the documents they require to get PPs. Two forms of payment, valid ID, birth certificate.

Remember when scanning books to watch the screen to make sure they are getting discharged correctly. Siris has frequent pop up windows that must be cleared before items are properly discharged.

Remember to place mouse antennas back in wireless mouse slots, and laptops returned to Russ. If you want to keep a laptop on your desk, that is fine. Many of you have done that already, and it’s fine because we have many laptops that rarely get checked out by customers.


Melinda thanks all involved in the New Year Bash, it was a great success, particularly Cyrano’s dancing with the kids.
