YA Computers and Adult Usages

There have been some questions about the use of the YA computers by adults. At present, please follow these guidelines:

Up until 3 p.m., consider the YA computers an overflow area.

The greeters and 1st floor staff will be directing adults to the second floor computers, with the possible exception made for adults accompanied by juveniles, wheelchair or physically handicapped patrons, etc.

Once the upstairs room has been filled, then the upstairs staff should notify the Info Desk (who then notify the greeter) that overflow use downstairs is warranted. Any adult patrons allowed to use the YA computers should be messaged that it is only because it is full upstairs and before 3 p.m.

Info Desk staff have access to the upstairs admin console. If they see that later that 3 or more computers are now available, then they should message the greeter that they should direct adults back upstairs again. Likewise, if the staff upstairs monitoring the room sees that there are now multiple computers available again, they should also notify the Info Desk (who notifies the greeter).

Again, patrons should be messaged that the YA computers are an overflow area.
