Dear Sri Chakraborty,

Please keep in mind that your service potentiality is the best DECORATION for your Library. However, a neat and pleasant ambiance is befitting for a Library.

For ARRANGEMENTS, keep the library clean. Don't leave books &/or journals in a disarrayed/heaped and scattered . Keep your registers & records ready & up-to-date. Keep a banner of handy statistics like

3. Collections:

2. Arrange all books in classification order as title wise.

3. Prepare Accession register.

5. Online journal payment data and using. They asked to open. some of the the member can't give chance to explain. They directly access the sites.

6.Answer with cool.

7.Make a pleasant atmosphere between in your under staff. They they work with joy.

8.Arrange Tea/Snack to your assistants. It  automatically helps to understand.

9.Try to focus one person to explain about journals and books who know English fluently.

10. Make a clarity on books which are transferred, issued or in binding section.

11. Maintain clean around your surroundings.

12. Decoration is not important. Having data like area, seating capacity and other are most important.

Maintain clean dressing for all the library staff. Less talking is more important

Pl. answer what they are ask. Pl. don't talk any think other than they asked.

Ignore about Stock verification while they ask. If they ask you show otherwise ignore.

These are enough to them.
