I also include beginning and end of day procedures (cueing up search devices, logging in to circulation computers, etc.) as well as login processes for various software used in the curriculum, checking out/downloading specialty items (Mp3s, etc.), holds, and such. Contacts with local public libraries, Bluestem and Monarch master lists and schedules, library floorplan and cataloging policy, and phone lists are all things I find helpful, so they're in there. Think about what you or your aides access daily or weekly, and it will likely be useful in your manual. Mine is a one stop shop of information for me, and for others if I get hit by a semi...

I have shared and posted my selection policy, but I should probably add a one page sheet with the steps everyone should take if a book is challenged.  I would love to hear thoughts everyone else has as well.
