Reference Librarians

Hello!

It was recently communicated to us that someone told them that there isn't a reference librarian here after 5pm.  Helen, Lindsey and Lisa are all reference librarians, so please do not tell people that they aren't.

Thanks!
Heidi

Heaters and Plugs

We have had an incredibly brutal winter and I know with people taking shortcuts through the library the lobby gets extremely cold, that's why we have the extra space heaters out there.  If you would like to plug in all three heaters at the desk in order to not blow out a breaker please plug one by the public printer, one by the staff dry erase board and one by the student assistant computer.  The one by the student assistant computer should not be plugged into the power strip but into the actual silver box plug.  If the power strip stops working please flip the switch on the front of the power strip as well as the switch on the side of the power strip.

Let me know if you have any questions,
Heidi

Germs

Hello!

We are getting into the thick of the flu and cold season.  Please be sure to disinfect whatever desk you are on when you first get there.  There should be Lysol wipes somewhere.  And please be sure to wash your hands.  I don't want any of you to get sick.

If you do get sick, please don't come in and push yourself.  If you feel like you should be laying down, stay in bed.  Just be sure to call us at the library (630-637-5700), don't email me in case I am sick too.

Try to stay healthy and be safe in the snow!

New newspaper check-in policy

Dear SA's,

Please be aware that there is a new policy regarding Sunday newspaper check-in only. On Sundays, please save all advertisements instead of recycling them as you have in the past. When you are finished, please leave all advertisements on Heidi's desk. I will post a sign on the Periodicals Desk as a reminder.

Thank you!
