Monday, July 19th is the start of another Door Count week, which will end on Saturday, July 23rd.
The purpose of Door Count is to track the numbers of visitors who come to the library on an hourly basis. This helps managers make decisions about staffing levels and service hours. It also helps us to gain insight into how people are using the library (i.e. through In House Material Use). These are standard industry measures that all libraries record.
Please check your gates to make sure that they are operating correctly. If you have not already done so, this week would be a good time to clean your filter and make sure that your gate is in working order. You can refer to the exciting gate maintenance video if you need a refresher: https://hplnet.hpl.lib.tx.us/your-library.html
As a reminder, Door Count ONLY involves recording P numbers from your gate(s) on an hourly basis and recording your In-House materials use on an hourly basis. Record other statistics (such as Reference) as you normally do.
