To close the library:
1. Make the 30 minute announcement from the script below, which is also posted above the PA system. Please stick to the script.
2. 15 minutes before the library is scheduled to close, flash the lights and make the announcements from the script. If there are two people working, one should walk around the library to inform any remaining patrons when the library is closing.
3. Double-check both book drops (at the desk and the chute) and check in any materials.
4. Straighten up the Information Desk.
5. Make another announcement (flashing the lights again) at 5 minutes to closing.
6. At closing time, make a final announcement and shut down the computer.
7. Use the 24/7 Room key, located under the Info Desk, to lock the door. The lock is located on the wall to the left of the doors.
8. When the library closes, Campus security should arrive to lock the doors.
**If Campus Safety does not arrive to lock up the library, call them at (x4710) and ask them (nicely) to lock the library.**
9. After Campus Safety arrives, turn off the lights upstairs and downstairs. Light switches are located on the large black panel with white frame on the left side. You ONLY need to touch the two switches labeled downstairs and upstairs.
10. Exit with the Campus Safety officer.
**DO NOT turn off the lights until the Campus Safety officer has arrived.
**If there are any problems with Campus Safety or anything else weird, e-mail Kayla an account of what happened.**
