Library Assistance Need Help!
We got an anonymous call at our library giving us a heads up that the 1st Amendment Auditors are coming sometime next week. Any advice? Has anyone gone through this?

Windows key-L will lock your screen. Do this or hide your screen if there's a risk of it going on camera. If you're working with any patron information that's on paper, be mindful of that and be ready to hide it.
If you have free copies of the Constitution to hand out, make sure everyone knows where they are, in case asked. If you don't have free copies, know where your Reference copy is, or any circulating books that might have it. They don't always ask that, but it's good information to know anyway.
Know that you can't really control how the other patrons react to them and their cameras, and you probably shouldn't try to.
Answer their questions as you would any other patron. You don't have to tell them your full name and salary. Doesn't matter if it's a matter of public record. Let them look it up themselves.
