Library Student Worker Handbook

If you are opening the library, do the following:

• Turn on all lights in the building (i.e. stacks, Bingham Center for Teaching Excellence, Active Learning Classroom, computer lab, Writing Center, Academic Center for Excellence, periodicals room, stairwells, and main floor).
• Bring any books and periodicals found on tables to circulation desk. Check them in (non-loan return).  Put them on the reshelving carts. This process allows us to know what is getting used in the library.
• Tidy areas by throwing away trash and moving chairs back in place.
• Empty the humidifiers.
• Turn on computers at the front desk. Open WorldShare to check out/in items.
• Ensure that supplies are refilled at printing/copying station (i.e. paper, staplers, etc.).
• Charge Chromebooks.
• Shelve books on carts if multiple people are at the desk.

Closing procedures include the following:

• Ensure that all patrons have left the building.
• Check that all windows are closed and locked.
• Straighten messy areas (i.e. throw away trash, move chairs, etc.).
• Turn out all lights in the building.
• Student managers will lock the external doors and call the Department of Public afety to set the alarm system.
