Emergency Info

Thank you to everyone who attended yesterday’s Emergency and Safety meeting yesterday. In addition to the ALICE training (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate) and meeting Cooper the Comfort Dog, we worked through several tabletop exercises.

Using yesterday’s experience (and with several corrections of typos), I’ve updated the Emergency Response Guide on this intranet. Also, printed copies are available

Direct Page

All Library phones should have something that says “Direct Page” on the main menu screen. If you do not see this on any phone, please email Amy with the phone extension and with a request to add “Direct Page.” This feature uses the speaker function of the phone. This means messages via Direct Page are audible to everyone in the area of the phone. To use

  1. Press “Direct Page”
  2. Press “#”
  3. Pause for two seconds and then speak
  4. Hang up when done
