We live in a world where the most basic of communication can be difficult for most people. With the onset of the Internet, blogging, chat, and e-mail, face to face contact becomes harder and harder. Even to the point of which signs are the preferred method of communicating rules and information to people.
The Riverside County Library System is trying to change that. We have been taking down most of the unimportant signage around here. We verbally communicate the rules and any information you need to know. We try to make sure that we make that person to person contact because it is important.
So what does it all mean?
Well, when we do put signs up, they are important. For example, we have an automated sign up for our Internet computers. If a certain computer is not working, it doesn't automatically disappear off of the sign-up listing. Since we can't catch every single person in the library to tell them which computers aren't working, we'll put a sign next to the sign-up computer.
Make sure you read the signs. They give important information and will save you from a lot of hassle.
