| Subject: Procedure - borrowing books | Subject: Re: Defective hair dryer |
| Dear all, I am writing about the office policy on borrowing books from the library. Whenever an employee needs to borrow a book from the library, he will first have to enter his employee code number in the software on the library computer. He can then enter the name and system code of the book. He must finally fill the pink slip and hand it over to my secretary, Ms. Jenkins, who is in charge of updating the record after the books have been returned. If the books are lost, damaged, or not returned on time, a fine will be levied on the employee. The fine will be deducted from his pay check.
