This is old news to a few of us, but it seems I didn’t actually send out anything to the entire Central Libraries about a task force we formed in early February. The “Client Service Standards and Behavioral Indicators Review Task Force” is charged to:

review and update the “Client Services Standards and Behavioral Indicators” document (from 2003!) , create training appropriate for all library employees (including student workers), and deliver the training. At a minimum the training must include an online or recorded version for future employees.  Training needs to be ready for delivery by 11 May 2010.

Members of the task force are:

• James Floyd, chair
• Ethel Walton
• Robert Lugo
• Gail Peterson
• Kay Stewart

Please talk to any task force members if you have suggestions about our customer service program.

Central Texas Security and Fire Equipment, Inc. will be onsite to perform the annual fire alarm inspection.  During this time you will see Central Texas Security and Fire staff throughout the facility.  CTSF staff will be testing all fire alarm devices, including speaker/horn strobes.  The building fire alarm system will briefly sound as part of this test; however, an announcement will be made prior to testing.  Evacuation of the building is not necessary at this time unless directed otherwise.  If a meeting is scheduled that the testing may interrupt, you may consider moving it to a different location or rescheduling.
