- I have some really great books that I’d like to donate, but if the Library can’t use them, can I get them back?Can I get a tax receipt for books I donate?How can I donate books to the Library?
- The Library assures equal access to all library resources by patrons within the constraints of Michigan law. Patrons are free to select or reject for themselves any item in the collection. Individual or group prejudice about a particular item or type of material in the collection may not preclude its use by others. Parents or legal guardians have the right and the responsibility to restrict the access of their children to library resources. Parents or legal guardians who do not want their children to have access to certain library services, materials, or facilities should so advise their children. Librarians cannot assume the role of parents or the functions of parental authority in the private relationship between parent and child.
- Talk about this before next slide, get them to discuss and lead into to Request for Reconsideration Form…
- What happened & why… Library Staff violated Equal Access, Patron Responsibility, theylimited access for others, and interfered w/ parental rights & responsibility to restrict their child’s access to library resources
- Not, this is not a “Complaint” form! How do you handle these calls?
- Ask about scenariosDifference between Privacy and Confidentiality?Privacy is about PEOPLEConfidentiality is about DATA – restrict access, limit storage of etc.
- Ask about scenarios
- Don’t answer before you know what the person really is concerned about.Demonstrate that your goal is to understand. Support your words with a quiet calm voice, and undivided attention.“I want to be sure I understand.”Recognize that we made mistakes, too. If we have, it is okay to admit that to a person.
- Below are listed steps to follow in dealing with a library user who is angry, critical, or simply forceful in expression. This approach will convey to the person your willingness to listen to a question or problem and respond to it. As you respond with interest and information, the person will become calmer and more at ease. Then the two of you can concentrate on solving the problem rather than having a confrontation.
- Prepare the person to whom the complaint has been referred with a brief outline of the problem and your actions.
