For many years, Scott Library’s doors were watched from the nearby desk that was grimly labelled “Exit Control.”  The staff at the desk watched (and still watch) the entering and leaving of Scott Library, discouraging the occasional pizza delivery and the “borrowing” of books not checked out. 

These days, however, under the leadership of John Thomson, Manager, Library Facilities, and Lorraine Toth, Facilities Supervisor, the desk staff are aiming to do that with a friendlier face. More importantly, they are also providing a number of services that make people’s use of the library a little easier, some that have always been provided, and some new services. 

The desk has been reconfigured for a more approachable appearance and the new signs being made will say “Welcome Services.”
