Responsibilities of Employees – Staff Use of Public Library Property and Services

Anne stated an issue has risen where staff will check out materials and check them back in without returning the materials. Anne encouraged the supervisors to talk with their employees so they understand their responsibilities with library property and services. Additionally, items being returned are to only be checked out or checked in on a computer at a library—never an office computer.
