Hello Everyone, At your library, do you have a doorbell or some other system for circulation workers to use to notify everyone else in the building of an emergency? If you have some kind of device and/or procedure in place please let me know. Thanks, Brian R. Johnston Head of Public Services Lincoln Township Public Library 2099 W. John Beers Road Stevensville, MI 49127 (269) 429-9575 bjohnston@lincolnlib.org

Hi Brian, We have a small unit that we use to call staff from the staff work area when we need assistance at the circ. desk. It comes with two buttons to place at either end of the circ desk and runs on batteries. I think we got it for $25 at Home Depot. Thanks!

We also have a doorbell to use when we need extra help at the circulation desk, but not necessarily for emergencies.

We have a button on our staff home page that our circulation staff uses to alert those working in back that they need assistance. It plays "Help!" by the Beatles in the back room when you press it. :D On Fri, Jul 1, 2016 at 11:37 AM, Valerie Long <longv@aadl.org> wrote:
