Staff Meeting Minutes + Laptops
Our staff meeting will be held this Thursday at 8am.
We are in need of one or two additional laptops for the staff meeting. If you have one you can bring let me know.
This Saturday – Green Days
Just a reminder that while the Library will not be open for regular service on Saturday June 20, all staff will still be working their regular schedules that day as we will be helping with the Green Days crafts from 1:00-4:00. Staff should come in at your regularly scheduled time and work on your regularly assigned activities until such time as you might be needed in the meeting room. Circulation staff should empty the book drop and begin check in (Dreama will give you instruction about the handling of holds).
Desk Stats
Beginning in July, we will collect desk stats via the Intranet rather than with the paper forms currently located at each desk. On the Intranet, you should now see an overlay in the bottom right corner. Please take a look at the “help” document accessible via the red link above the top right corner of the overlay. I’m looking for feedback on functionality at this point–let me know what you think about how it works. We will discuss definitions of the four categories (which are quite different than those we currently use) at the June staff meeting.
Office Supplies
I will be taking over office supply ordering (at least temporarily) in the new fiscal year. If you have office supply needs or see that something has run out or is running low, please let me know.

Outdoor Movie on Friday, June 5th
The outdoor movie will start on Friday, June 5th at dusk, i.e. roughly around 8:45pm to 9:00pm. The rain date for this event will be the following night, Saturday, June 6th–same time. 😉
Patio Book Club
Patio Book Club books have been moved from behind the Circulation Desk to the top of Recently Returned along with signage and takehome flyers in an effort to make this program more visable.
Thanks!

Free Lunch Reminder
This summer the library will be a site for an organization called Lunch Break that serves free lunches to kids each weekday beginning at 11:30. They will be using tables in the area formerly known as the “Shade Structure”. The organizers will be responsible for setup and cleanup.
