As most of you have heard, Diane accepted a full-time position (congrats Diane!). For now, Diane will keep her weekends and, starting next week, we’ve made some schedule shifts that will fill her weekday hours. With Pally and Janet leaving as well, we will he looking for two additional circulation staff -interviews will begin within the next couple of weeks. We hope to have the new staff members on board by the second week in January. These changes will be accompanied by a shift in coverage at circ. which may affect some of your schedules -we’ll work through any conflicts with those affected.
Maurine and I will interview for the IT and Circulation Support position over the next few days. It’s possible that whomever we hire may not begin until March. During the few weeks between Rita’s leaving and our new employee starting, Maurine and I will do as much as we can to fill in at circ. during busy periods and breaks.
This has been a year full of change for the library -with a new director, a new ILS, and soon a new circulation supervisor. I truly appreciate everyone’s hard work and patience and as we adapt to new and sometimes challenging circumstances.
