Are you sitting the 1st Mate's Chair? (It's the one closest to our entrance and our water fountain. If so, once an hour we'd like you to do a "walkabout." What's a "walkabout," you may ask? It's simply a time to leave the desk, and walk around the IC. It's a time to have your eyes open to the facility, ensuring that all is in order. If you see a mess, please clean it up or report it to your supervisor. If chairs are wildly out of place, please return them to their proper spot. (Assuming no one is sitting in them, of course!) A sheet will be kept at the 1st Mate's Chair so you can record your walkabouts on your shift. Please place your initials by the hours listed after you have completed your walkabout.
Other duties of the 1st Mate? Those would include keeping the bookdrop empty by checking in returned books and placing them in order on the shelves behind the desk. Once the shelves near capacity, it's the 1st Mate's job to transfer the books to a book cart. The 1st Mate is our primary group room examiner when keys are returned. Always, always, the most important job of the 1st Mate and the Captain is to serve our guests who need our attention.
