Just a reminder that all free materials delivered to the Library should be routed to the work room for proper handling.   This includes materials left outside the front door, put in the drop box or handed to a staff member at the desk.

Brochures or flyers for distrubition and items for posting on the public bulletin board should be placed in the In box on Dreama’s desk.   The Circulation Dept. will be responsible for maintaining brochures and postings on the bulletin board.

Any newspaper or magazine materials (Bulls Eye newspaper, Johnston Living Magazine, Better Investing Magazine, City View, Juice, Black and White, etc.) should be placed on Sheryl Start’s desk.  

Please see Sheryl or Dreama if you have questions.

Emails notices of new Intranet posts now include the creator’s name. This functionality, however, requires the author to be logged in. Anonymous posting has therefore been disabled. Please log in to make a post.

Please turn in your timesheet today, Wednesday, April 15…National Bookmobile Day!

Thanks,

Missy

Attached to the outer glass on the Archive room by the music collection are four large posters and one small poster.  Each of the large posters is about a different topic.  The small poster contains all the rules and directions.

This is a contest for Money Smart Week that JPL is participating in.  The prize = $1,000.00 (towards a retirement fund).

The small poster has all instructions that are needed for playing.  Essentially, here is what needs to happen to play:

1. Read through each of the four posters.

2. Scan the QR code located on the poster (or go to a public computer and enter web address given).

3. Leave your answer.

Let me know if you have any questions – Cheryl

Rhonda Gooding was in Sunday for a meeting and believes she lost a sapphire tennis bracelet that has a lot of sentimental value to her. She is quite concerned about it. 

If found, please call her at 515-334-0476.

The pre-shelving area in Check-In has been rearranged to add shelving, to make sorting carts easier, and to align more closely with how materials are shelved in Youth Services.  Please check the labels when putting materials on the shelves. 

Thanks.

There is a teapot and three teacups and saucers behind Circulation. These have come from the collection of Max Wiese, our “tea aficionado,” who will be here on May 16th to put on our Everything Tea program. This teapot and teacups will be given away as door prizes to people who attend the tea program. Please pass the word along to patrons if they ask you about this small display behind circ. 

Also–please don’t bump or break them–I don’t think Max would be very happy with me. 😉

For those of you that have volunteered to help with Maurine’s party – thank you!  We are going to be meeting briefly at the Reference Desk tomorrow at noon.  If you  can’t make it, let me know and I can email you what we talked about and decided.  If you are highly interested in a certain area – please let me know.

We will meet again April 30 at 12:00PM in the Archive Room.

Thanks – Cheryl

I’ve added the Homemade Kite Contest Form and the Kite Poetry Contest Rules to the HELPING PATRONS menu on the left.  We have printed copies of these forms at the Reference Desk.  These forms are also located on the front page of the website.

Please don’t hesitate to ask me if you have any questions.

Thanks – Cheryl

Volunteer Brunch will be on Thursday, May 28 from 9:00AM to 10:00AM.  We will be putting this brunch on for our volunteers.  This means that we each need to bring a dish/drink/etc. to share at the brunch.  There is a sign up sheet on the staff break room door to sign up for what you wish to bring – so we don’t duplicate eachother.  I will still need help with decorating/rearranging the room and have added that to the sign up sheet.  If you have questions please let me know.

Thanks – Cheryl

It’s no joke…your timesheet is due today, Wednesday, April 1.

Thank you,
