So we had an incident this week at The Little Tree House Library - luckily no one was badly injured but we thought it's a good time to remind everyone about our health and safety practices!
Now doesn't that sound like fun?!
1. The computer area is kept clean and sanitary. Please do not bring food or drinks that could spill and ruin equipment!
2. We keep all power points checked and organised so it's up you to be aware of how many items you're plugging into a single point. It is also very dangerous to plug anything into a live point so please check what's already plugged in and then decide whether or not to turn it off or find another point.
3. We also make sure all the equipment, books and furniture is routinely tested and checked so if you notice anything (eg. a frayed wire, a strange ticking sound) or accidentally break something - please let us know!
4. Please familiarise yourself with the location of the fire extinguishes - one is in the back corner of the study zone and one is near the front door tucked behind the information desk.
And please take a moment to memorise the evacuation meeting point - library car park.
There is a map just inside the front door showing this information too.
5. If you don't know how to use any of the equipment (eg. printers, scanners, computers, cameras) or have a question please ASK A LIBRARIAN. You could hurt yourself or damage the equipment if you misuse it.
6. Can't reach a book? Ask for a kick stool or ask someone taller then you to help. Please don't climb!
7. Use two hands to carry books, cameras etc. when you're not sure about the weight of the item. Be aware of the item's weight and how long you'll be carrying it as you don't want to strain or hurt yourself.
Please remember that you can ASK A LIBRARIAN about anything!
