Notes about Emptying Book Return and Check-in
Emptying the Book Return:
- Empty the book returns often, at least every two hours. Even if there is only a little to empty, it must be emptied every two hours. This is assigned on the desk schedule.
- When you empty the book returns, look for jams in the outdoor book return and empty the indoor book return.
- Put items on the red carts in the book return room. Mark the purple slip with the date and time you start a cart – you only need to fill out the purple slip when you are starting a new cart.
- If you are emptying the overnight book return, mark the last day the library was open on the purple slip if you are starting a new cart.
- Please fill the carts completely – top and bottom shelves – so we don’t run out of cart space.
- Leave red carts in the book return room. If all carts are full, please see Molly, Denise, or Lori E. or a circulation library associate
- If you have a bulky Learning Tool that doesn’t fit on a cart, leave it on top of the indoor book return until it can be checked in.
- Gloves are optional for emptying the book return. Wash or sanitize your hands after emptying the book return.
Check-in:
- Please continue to use a microfiber cloth and an all-purpose cleaner to wipe down materials at check-in.
- Pay special attention to the date items were returned and backdate as necessary.
- Wash or sanitize your hands after check-in.
