The staff of North Philadelphia Neighborhood Libraries has, over the course of multiple Cluster meetings, worked on developing the statement below. This entire process has been described in previous blog posts. At the June meeting, we took a final look at this document, and realized there was no mention of computers in our initial draft. Since this is the purpose for the majority of visits at our libraries, it needed to be added. Currently, all staff agree that this statement addresses all of the primary areas of providing good customer service. It will be posted in our workrooms, as a reminder to all staff why it should be that we come to work each day.
Patron Bill of Rights
When patrons enter any of the libraries in North Philadelphia, they have the right to expect:
- Courteous, friendly staff with a willingness to listen
- Clean, safe, and comfortable building
- Staff to give accurate information and/or appropriate referrals
- Access to working PC's with staff able to give appropriate assistance as needed
We are still in the process of working on a similar statement for staff, and have a draft. More to come on that later.
