Does anyone know why there’s a big wet spot in the Circulation area, in front of the clock and fire extinguisher?
Physical Plant has put a noisy fan on it, which sucks.

HOSTILE INDIVIDUAL IN THE LIBRARY
At around 4:30 PM on Friday March 11th, a man was playing the piano located in the dome. Joan approached the individual and informed him that he could not play in the library and politely asked him to stop, at which point he claimed he was Mozart and became very belligerent. He was roughly 5’6, heavy built, Hispanic male with facial hair. If you see a man matching this description playing piano inside of the library, please inform a supervisor immediately. -Catherine/Cassidy
No more daily accruing fines
We got rid of $.25 a day fines for regular circulating Main collection material when we extended the checkout period to the whole semester.
We still charge $1 per day for Course Reserves, Media, Circuit and Reference.
Valuables need to be added to the Valuables Log
Today there was a wallet in the Lost and Found. When the patron came to retrieve it, we found it wasn’t added to the Log – EVERY VALUABLE ITEM MUST BE WRITTEN IN THE LOG. This includes wallets, credit cards, phones, tablets, laptops etc.. There are good reasons why this is a necessity – please ask any Staff person if you need more information on why.

At around 4:15 PM, a man approached the circulation desk and requested a security guard resolve a problem he had with an aggressive individual in the media center.

Hogging Course Reserves
There are a couple of patrons on campus that have been checking out the 3 day reserves and switching them between each other. When one person checks the book back in, the other person immediately comes to the desk to recheck it back out. We have noticed this with a couple books and always the same people. There have been other patrons inquiring about the books, but they have always been checked out.
Bathrooms in Library Addition closed
Bathrooms in this building will be closed until further notice due to flooding. Library patrons will need to go to Love Library to use restrooms
Email not being delivered
Some notices, especially pick up notices, are not getting through to Library users.
Please advise patrons to check their Library records online if they are waiting for requested material – if they don’t know how to log in to their records through the home page, please show them how.
Shelving Course Reserves correctly
Adrian reports that he is finding a number of improperly shelved course reserve books.
Pay very careful attention to call number order. Just one improperly shelved book can soak up much time and effort as we try to locate it. And it makes our users unhappy 🙁
