What's Happening Library Wide

Here's the news for this week
  • We have 514 responses to our Library Impact Survey with 9 days to go. Keep promoting! The more we know about our customers' needs, the better we can tailor our services to meet those needs.
  • Many thanks to Lin who completed a complicated process just under the wire to receive rebates on our phone system bill to the tune of ~$38,000. What an enormous savings!
  • Today is 404 day, a day of activism sponsored by the Electronic Frontier Foundation to protest Internet censorship.
  • The User Experience Team meets for the first time Monday. Thanks to your overwhelming response, we quickly filled the first 10 seats and are up to 6 seats reserved on team two which will begin meeting in the fall. We'll keep you posted on our ideas and progress.
  • Also meeting this coming week is a team to consider vendors for allowing our patrons to pay for fines and printing with debit or credit cards. This is a top priority project.
  • The Tuesday library board meeting is at 5:30pm at SW library. Hope to see you there.
  • The Friends of the Library hold their book sale next weekend at Northside Library.
  • April 13-19 is National Library Week and I believe Michelle and Brandi have been cooking up some fun for the staff to show you just how much you're appreciated.
  • Jill has been working hard on a summer and fall programming lineup that should bring in many people, including business classes for budding women entrepreneurs to be held at Uptown.
  • And finally, some fun stuff from Brent. Wouldn't this be cool to have running around the library floor?
     
That's what I have to share this gloomy Friday. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
