Fun at the Market

What a bubble machine and a group of smiling people in cute tee shirts can do! Thanks to everyone who worked the market on Saturday! We reached a market record of 301 visitors and 15 new library cards. Great PR for the library!

Thanks to our Trainers!

A big thanks to Patty B, Donna I-K and Adela for stepping forward to lead our SHARE training efforts! If you're thinking you'd like to join this terrific team, we're waiting for you to step forward! Trainers can be from any library position and will become experts on SHARE circulation functions, providing support to staff during our transition period. We'd like at least two trainers from each branch, so let's hear from you, SW!

SHARE catalog approved

If you're not a frequent work email user, you might have missed the news that KCLS will join online catalogs with Lakeshores Library System. The KCLS board approved the project on August 31. Since then we have had one staff demonstration of SHARE. If you missed that demo and would like to attend another, please let your supervisor know. If we see enough interest, we'll invite Lakeshores staff for an additional demo. Until then, look for the shared FAQ document updated whenever I receive a question from staff. I email that out every time it's updated.
