Library Cleanup Days


Hi, Everybody

Robin and Michelle have been cleaning up at CCB to prepare for the arrival of our new Communications Assistant, Shimon Croxton. We can’t believe some of the stuff that’s been sitting around unused for years. Something tells me all our branches could use a cleanup, too. So, I’m declaring two cleanup days- one a physical cleanup and one an electronic cleanup.

Wednesday, June 18th will be Library Cleanup Day (facilities) . That means you get to wear jeans, tee shirts (tasteful) and tennis shoes (NO OPEN TOED SANDALS, PLEASE, FOR SAFTEY REASONS) , and focus on straightening, tossing, wiping, and sorting through staff areas. Refrigerators, lockers, desks, offices, storage rooms, basements, closets,  service desks, all those places we tend to keep things and then forget about them.

I will work with Chuck and his crew to provide cleaning supplies and maybe even a dumpster or two  if we think we need it. Light lunch will be provided to keep you cheerful J

Tuesday June 24th will be Electronic Cleanup Day. This is a great time to go through sent folders, inboxes, documents, etc, and see what you can toss to give the LAN a refresh.  We’ll provide brain food that day, since we expect this to be a cerebral experience.

Cleanup days are a lot of fun, but some of us Type A’s have a hard time refocusing on fun, so I’m counting on the lighthearted members of our staff to help us step back from the paperwork and make cleanup the main focus for the day. It may be a bit of a challenge to simultaneously meet the public, as we will stay open, but I know it can be done!

We’ll get back to you with logistics as we move closer to the date.
