Be Our Guest At The Desk: Delivering Five-Diamond Customer Service in Libraries

Posted onAuthorMeghan

When it comes to customer service, libraries are not all that different from the hospitality industry. Outreach Librarian Alicia Collumbell and Assistant Director Wendy Bennett share the slides and resources from their fun and interactive talk on delivering top-notch customer service, utilizing techniques borrowed from the hotel industry. Learn how to apply these tools to your everyday interactions, along with tips on navigating delicate situations for when patrons do not come to you at their best.
