Processing Money (Fines and Book Sale)

Good Day Team,

I wanted to take this opportunity to remind you of the following from the Financial Services Department:

• ·         Fines and booksale should be sent in two separate envelops
• ·         The reason why you have to send them in two separate envelops is because the money goes into two separate banks
• ·         Each envelop should be labelled accordingly
• ·         The fines envelop should contain money from fines, bags, copies, passport fees and  library cards
• ·         The booksale envelope should contain money collected from selling books and other donated materials, flash drives and ear buds.
• ·         If the fines and booksale money cannot be separated due to lack of change, you can send everything in the same envelop with an explanation of why you had to do so.
• ·         Two copies of the report should be printed and sent even if you are only sending one envelop.

Theodora.

DOOR COUNT

REMINDER!!!!  Monday, April 21 through Saturday, April 26 is DOOR COUNT

WHAT:             Door Count measures 2 things:

1.       Visitors by the hour, through gate counts

2.       In-House materials used, by the day

Gate counts are measured by recording the P number on your gate each hour. This way we get a general idea of what times of the day are busiest at your location.

In-House material counts are counted manually but we only need a daily total. This count is used by libraries nationally to measure use of print-based materials.

HOW:              Please review the Door Count template before Door Count begins. 

·         Count any item that is removed from the shelf or stacks, by staff or the public. All formats are counted and each physical item is counted as one.

·         Enter your gate’s P numbers hourly and materials use, daily.

·         The Closing P number should be the same as the opening number for the following day.

·         If the gate is broken, the CSD scheduled employee will need to count visitors manually, and will enter the hourly visitor counts into the spreadsheet’s P number section.

·         Su will enter the numbers in the final template (G-drive  Statistics  Door Count).
