Please continue to send me any app issues and I will submit a ticket with Communico. Here are some updates on known issues:
The checkout history does not show up in the app, Communico is aware and is working on a solution.
Holds cannot be suspended through the app, Communico is aware and working on a solution.
Items that should not renew, appear to renew in Communico-but they aren’t renewed (items with a hold/items that have reached the renewal limit). Communico is working on this.

Hi all,
The majority of presentations and hybrid meetings in the conference room can be conducted wirelessly. I’ve updated the instructions to reflect that.Â
If staff want to use HDMI for a wired presentation, I’ve moved the adaptor and HDMI cord to the ground-floor desk with the other cords/adaptors.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!
A male patron called today and asked for a number of book titles. The patron became inappropriate and staff hung up on them. This is okay. Do not feel that you need to stay on the line for this at all. This patron has called here and other libraries in the past for the same reason. They are being inappropriate.
Do not give your name. Forward to a supervisor if needed. Hanging up IS an option.

Hi everyone,
I am working on a list of our local partner organizations and the RPL staff liaisons. I thought we’d already had one, but I can’t find it it lives on the S drive under: Â Library Files\02 Working Groups and Teams\Outreach Working Group
While this is a living document, I’d like to have any current liaisons listed by Thursday, December 19th.
Thanks!
Michelle
Updated Conference Room instructions and Community Room AV instructions have been created. A printed copy is available in the Conference Room. They are saved on the Instructions Page of the staff intranet and are on the S drive under Library Files\Manuals-Instructions\Meeting Room Instructions.
