Snow


 * Weather Emergency – College Closed**


 * In the event that the college is closed due to a weather emergency, the library will open if reasonable to do so. The chief consideration is whether it is safe for students to travel around campus.
 * Contact Public Safety, 508-767-7225 about conditions on campus. Ask the dispatcher to speak with the “officer in charge” or with Operations Lieutenant Keith Hough to find out if campus is icy.
 * If paths are very icy; it is not a good idea to open the library.
 * See Disaster Emergency Guide page for instructions on setting the out of office greeting on the Circulation Desk Phone to reflect library opening or closing.
 * Post opening on Website (Mary) and Facebook (any Facebook admin can do this).
 * Lt. Keith Hough has a list of students who are able to open the library.
 * Keith or the officer in charge will meet the student at the back door of the library to let them into the building. They will not drive the student to the library from the Campus Police headquarters at Kennedy.
 * Todd may not be reachable during a storm.


 * Weekend Snow Closing**


 * The college does not make an announcement about closing during a weekend storm.
 * As the weekend approaches, the Head of Access Services will monitor the forecast and talk with the Library Director to determine if the library will remain open.
 * The Head of Access Services or Library Director will call Public Safety (508-767-7225) and ask the dispatcher to speak with the “officer in charge” or with Operations Lieutenant Keith Hough regarding conditions on campus.
 * The Weekend Supervisor will be notified of any decision to close or to modify regular library hours.
 * In the event of a bad storm the Head of Access Services and the Library Director may choose to activate the student snow team.
