1st floor

  1. Activate handicap entrance door by turning switch - located on the closer above the door in the lobby - to "on" position.
  2. Turn on lights (breaker boxes by the front doors and by back elevator).
  3. Bring in any items left in the outside book drop.  Set them aside to check in once the computers are turned on.
  4. Reset gate counter.  This is done by poking a teeny button inside a hole at the top edge of each gate, facing the exit doors, with an unfolded paper clip.  You may need a kickstool!  If you need more instructions or help, please ask the Access Services Librarian.
  5. Unlock entrance doors.
  6. Unlock exit doors - hold in the "crash bar" and turn the key until the bar stays in (this will also enable the handicapped button for the exit).
