Bernardsville Library Staff Information Blog

If you work with someone who was signed up for a computer class and has left a deposit who needs to cancel, you need to mark them as canceled and then do one of two things:

1. If the class teacher is Karen V then you need to alert her and she will call the waiting list people.
2. If the class teacher is someone not on the staff you will need to make the call to people on the waiting list.

Here is what to do
1. Call the first person on the waiting list.
2. If they are not available and you leave a message write next to their name LM and the date and your initials. Remember to ask them in your message to call ASAP to let you know if they can attend. The waiting list person does not have to come in leave a deposit.
3. If the person says no then write no next to their name and call the next person. (You may not be the original person who made the 1st call and left the message if you take the no call then you should call the next person on the list and follow step one, two or three.)
4. If the person says yes then write yes next to their name so the teacher knows who is expected.

If Karen V is not available to make calls because she is not working then if you took the cancellation you should follow the directions above to fill the free spot.

The persons deposit should be returned if they come to cancel in person, remember it must be more than the day before class. If they called in to cancel the deposit should be left in the envelop with a note that the person should have it returned to them. The teacher if not Karen V can leave the money for Madelyn.

Hi all,
Gentle Reminder: We have a "changing table" counter in children's bathroom in case anyone needs to use it. People have to furnish their own diapers and wipes.

We ask patrons to wrap up and take the used diaper etc. home or at least to the outside garbage can.

Thanks,

Anne

A lock, key and chain are in a plastic bucket in the area where we store the ill's that are packaged and ready to mail out. The chain can be looped through the handles to secure the door if the regular locking mechanism is not functioning.

I have been informed that Bedwell is no longer collecting ink cartridges for recycling. Unless someone knows of another good cause/institution (etc.) that can use them, and is also willing to take charge of collection and delivery, we will NO LONGER COLLECT the cartridges at Circ. I have disposed of the box.

FYI:
The Friends of the Library are mailing their fall fund drive letter on Sept. 13 or 14. A sample is posted on the bulletin board over the fax machine.

The Garden Club sold all of the mums they had for this year. They purchased less and the local businesses bought more. Also the money that ME collected during Sounds Around The Town was picked up by one of the garden club members. MH 9-11-10

A patron called asking if any one had turned in a Blue Tooth device. I checked in the lost and found and on the problems shelf. I did not find it. The contact info is on the problems shelf if you find one. MH 9-3-10
