We collect copy money in the cash drawer, and every 2 weeks we send these funds to HCL supervisor of accounts (Stacy Whitelaw, swhitelaw@hclibrary.us, as of 2023) in a locked money pouch, accompanied by a letter stating the amount collected for print/copy, as well as other funds collected for HCL. The key to the money pouch is labeled "265 Holland", and kept in the cash drawer.
Requesting Paper: Email the supervisor of HCL extension services (Lori Liggett, LLiggett@hclibrary.us, as of 2023) to request 8 packs of 8.5 x11 copy paper or 8 rolls of receipt paper when supplies dwindle to 2 packs/rolls.
Repair & Service calls: Call Superior Office Systems (732-738-0093) to request a technician if there are issues. They have been very responsive when needed.
