Our Let’s Talk, English conversation group continues to have strong online attendance. Because of this, Chelsea (the lead teacher) and I would like to add one more volunteer each Monday evening. Who do you know that might be interested in volunteering? In short, I’m asking if you could tell your friends, family and those you trust about this opportunity. Here is an image you can share. Please ask anyone interested to contact me at rasmussen@johnstonlibrary.com.

A new waste toner cartridge has been installed in the public printer. We’ve tested printing and all appears to work well. Yay!!

The public printer is out-of-order. The waste toner cartridge needs replaced. The part was ordered on Monday, but has NOT been received yet. Patrons will need to see PS Staff to print.

I need to complete time sheets on Thursday because I don’t work Friday-Sunday.

Remember that a holiday fell during this pay period 8/28-9/10 and update your time sheets accordingly.

In an attempt to make the status of study rooms accessible to all staff no matter what desk you’re at, I’ve created a simple spreadsheet labeled Study Rooms that can be found under the Schedules tab in the top ribbon of the Intranet.

The caveat is that this document may not be 100% accurate at all times, often patrons neglect to tell us when they’ve exited a study room, but we can try to keep it as accurate as possible. I use the security cameras to view the rooms when in doubt.

Instructions on how to use the document are in the document. Feedback is welcome.

I won’t be in the office beginning Friday so I need to get time sheets done before vacation, hence the need to have them early on Thursday. Thanks!
