We also discussed some behavior and personal hygiene issues that sometimes occur. Amber suggested we have a card (similar to the cell phone zone card) reminding patrons of our clothing and hygiene requirements. She will find out what wording Beloit uses on their handouts. We also may refer patrons to Walworth County Health and Human Services if there are continuing hygiene issues.
2. Truant or Suspended Children in the Library - If we suspect a child in the library is truant or subject to in-home suspension from school, we should ask which school they attend, then call the school to report they are at the library. The school may not be able to release information about the child's status, but will contact the appropriate family member or authority to deal with the situation.
3. Staffing - Amber reported that two new staff members, both retired teachers, will begin work next week: Susan Hammerly and Kristin Gleason.
We will have a VIP employee beginning Monday, 9/19. Colin will be trained to discharge and shelve materials, and possibly to check in the van items. He will have a job coach with him his first week.
Kelly has given notice that she will be leaving. October 7 will be her last day. Lindsey has offered to help with storytime and to lead the teen book club, provided the meeting time can be coordinated with her school schedule. If anyone would like to volunteer to help with another children's or teen's program, let Amber know.
There will be a program committee meeting in October to decide how youth programming will be handled until a new Youth Services Librarian can be hired.
4. Things Everyone Should Know How to Do - Here's the list we came up with:
- Order copier supplies
- Change printer cartridges
- Change register tape
- Transfer phone calls
5. Other - Amber talked about the health insurance memo we each received.
As usual, if I forgot anything add your changes, additions, or corrections in the comments.
