Citizenship Courses

To those of you who are going to be teaching or assisting in the upcoming Citizenship Classes there is already a detailed outline on each module and handout on the Southwest Express Website--Thanks to James Chavez.

In this link you will also find information on FAQ or rules that students may inquire about. Take a look at the material and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask. If I don’t know the answer I will find someone who does :-)

Remember:

· These classes are in English only
· Students must register the first Monday of every month.
· Classes are twice a week—Monday & Thursday from 6pm-8pm
· It is a 4 week long process
· Students will receive a certificate of completion afterwards--this does not give them any credit for the test or exempts them from anything; it is just our way of acknowledging our students efforts.
· We will try to have an immigration attorney or USCIS officer speak to the class each month or will give information on how they can contact one.

Thank you for you help & support!

Meeting Tomorrow - Tuesday

I want to have a Staff Meeting before we open tomorrow to try to start resolving our operational issues.

Sign In and Sign Out

Please remember to use the Sign-In and Sign-Out sheet so I can know who has worked when and who needs to make up time. This also affects the schedule because I have no way of knowing who worked on Saturday so I do not know who needs off this coming Friday.

Desk Schedule

Hi everyone, I just to let you all know that we all need to be mindful of the desk schedule. If we are scheduled to be on the desk at a specific time then we should be there or have someone else to cover for us.

Thanks,
Naudia

Information Desk

Hi Everyone, this is just a reminder of how we should organize items at the front desk. All items that need to be checked in should be placed on the big black cart and the items that have already been checked in should go on the smaller cart so that they may be shelved. All items that we run across that have holds or belong to another location should be placed on the second shelf of the big cart. We all should bring them to the back once they are labeled and place them in an outgoing bin.

Work Room

There are a number of things we need to remember when we are working in the Staff Room.

1- Please limit the time you spend on your cell phone on personal calls. This can be distrating to your coworkers and affect your own work.

2- Please limit the time you spend on MySpace, Facebook, personal email to those times you are actually on break.

3- I think that whomever is working the back room should be the first ones to answer the telephone. It can get very busy out front and to have to answer the phone in the middle of everything else is a distraction.

Thanks,

Jeff

Study Room Reservations

I've added a link to the study room reservations spreadsheet in the Desk Information section on the right-hand side of the page. Remember to record the persons name, and library card number on the spreadsheet. Please keep the library card at the desk while the customer is using the study room also.

Thanks
