HPL Express Vinson

As a follow up to Dr. Lawson's email "Experimental Service Model". HPL Express and Neighborhood library will operate with one unified staff. Esmeralda and Sumitra have been assigned to this service model. The rotating training model that was previously discussed for Vinson Express will not be implemented.

Thanks, Edward

Fire Drill Blitz

FYI...
From Gwen Walter, HPL Safety

Hello. I am planning to start visiting all Neighborhood Libraries to conduct their annual fire drill conducted by HPL Safety. I call it my annual "Fire Drill Blitz." I would like to start next week and continue into December – until I get them all done. I will conduct as many as I can each week with the following parameters.

1. Weather – I will never conduct a fire drill in inclement weather.

2. Geographical Convenience – On any given day I will conduct drills for libraries in close proximities.

3. Time of Day – I will check current library hours and conduct drills when libraries are open to the public. When possible, I will conduct drills before 3:00 p.m. – before school is out.

4. Schedule – I will not have a rigid schedule to complete this task. I will blend the "Fire Drill Blitz" schedule in together with my regular schedule of core duties.

5. Results & Documentation – Upon completion of this tour I compile a report of all drills for the files of Planning & Facilities and the City of Houston Fire Marshall. I will send you a copy of this report as well.

Thank You.

Library Programs

According to library policy we are not to turn customers away from our programs, even if the program is already underway. The exception to this rule is if the room is at or over capacity. The capacity of the Classroom/Big Meeting room is 30 people, and the capacity of the Conference Room is 10 people.

If a customer comes into a class that has already started, you may need to explain that we won't go back so they can catch up, or that you don't have a computer for them to use, but they can still attend the class if there is less than 30 people in the room. Customers can always come back another day to catch part of a class that they missed.
