Building
Use Before and After Hours

September 1999

In order to insure the safety of library staff and the security of library resources, library staff are expected to schedule their work when the building is open to the public. Library staff may enter the building 7:00-7:45 a.m. Monday through Friday, from the Loading Dock and 30 minutes before opening weekends and holidays from the southeastern most door of the East Wing.

Staff members working in the Main Library building when the Library is closed to the public and staff members working or walking through Technical Services after 6:00 p.m. or on weekends, will be required to:

·   sign-in on the log sheet at the Red Cedar Checkout Desk.

·   wear a staff identification badge

Identification Badges

Staff members (including custodial staff) who routinely work when the building is closed to the public can secure a badge at the Red Cedar Check-Out Desk.  Badges should be picked up when checking in and returned when signing out.

Building Keys

A limited number of keys have been issued to those staff who have a need to enter the building before 7:00 a.m. weekdays, before 30 minutes before opening weekends and holidays or after closing. Building keys are issued upon the approval of the appropriate Assistant/Associate Director.

Those staff who occasionally may need access to the Library when it is closed may check out a key for a limited period of time, with the approval of the appropriate division head. Keys are available for sign out from the Main Office.
