Initiative Number, Text, and Start Date

Initiative 2.2.2
Create a more welcoming and effective Bird Library entrance-the first point of contact with Library users:

  • remove turnstiles and explore alternative security measures
  • provide appropriate staff training in customer service (See 4.2)
  • document and train staff in interpreting and applying Library entrance policies and procedures
  • design alternative staffing plans to include staff from other departments (See 4.1.1)
  • continue collaboration between Circulation and Reference Departments to identify and address information and referral issues

In addition to addressing the strategic plan initiative listed above, the action team will develop guidelines for dealing with unaffiliated users who monopolize Library resources or pose a security threat.
