Findings and Recommendations 3 findings

F1
Evening security at branch libraries, particularly those libraries with two or fewer employees, is seriously lacking.
Related Recommendations (1)
R1
The library staff should provide a more institutionalized method for a security system. The staffs at the libraries we visited have implemented their own, albeit informal, systems for their own security.
F2
The current procedure of relying on the staff to monitor Internet use is inadequate and time consuming for staff.
Related Recommendations (1)
R2
A more positive, pro-active system for the monitoring of minors’ use of computers with Internet access should be implemented. Automated systems of monitoring computer time use are feasible to free the staff from these duties. Whenever possible adult computer use should be separate from the areas used by minors.
F3
County librarian salaries are the lowest of any professional classification in its system.
Related Recommendations (1)
R3
Placer County should look at the current pay scale of its library personnel to bring the employees in conformance with other professional classifications. Commendation The 2001-2002 Grand Jury was particularly impressed by the professionalism and dedication of the head librarian and her staff. They make good use of current resources.
