Program suggestion
by Margaret Bentley 14 Oct '16

14 Oct '16

We had Teresa Irish, compiler of /A Thousand Letters Home/, last night. She is a wonderful and inspiring speaker with a very positive message about the importance of family, faith, and country. It had only been about a week since her mother's death, but she still did a fantastic job, and I would highly recommend her program.

Bad Patron Behavior, Want to share your processes? Or you handouts?
by Andrea Ingmire 14 Oct '16

14 Oct '16

The season for spending time indoors is coming up and we are already seeing an up-kick in bad behavior from some of our patrons. I'd love to see our library come up with a more proactive process. so if you have any tips on how to stop the behavior before it starts, or other processes that have made dealing with difficult populations easier on staff, I'd love to hear about it. We are also working on our patron code of conduct. I'd love to see what other libraries have in place. I am looking for a full policy but also a shortened version that can be handed to patrons in the moment they are behaving badly. It would also be interesting to hear how you 'track' patron behavior. We have a spreadsheet on a shared drive, but I'd like to find something a little easier to access, update and use. Any and all suggestions or stories welcome! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Andrea Ingmire Library Director Peter White Public Library (906) 226-4303 (office) (906) 250-0080 (cell) (906) 226-1783 (fax) <http://www.pwpl.info/> www.pwpl.info
