Lots happening behind the scenes at KPL. Here's news to share:
- Congratulations to Jill Miatech, who has been chosen to take on the role of Outreach Coordinator. Jill will start in her new position April 18th.
- We will be posting an opportunity for Jill's programs replacement shortly.
- Uptown will be closed for 2 weeks while we remove asbestos beginning Monday, March 28th. After the asbestos is cleared, the library will reopen while new tile is laid in the basement. Literacy will we using SW meeting and study rooms to accommodate students until the tile work is complete. Sean will reassign Uptown staff to help with library projects during downtime.
- While Uptown is closed, we hope to send the bookmobile, complete with a shiny new generator, to the neighborhood a time or two.
- We will be conducting a Food for Fines Week May 23-29. Every non-perishable item collected earns $1 off accumulated fines. Sean and his team will devise full guidelines and share with everyone in advance.
- We are bidding the RFID project and have three interested vendors. The full request for proposal (RFP) is on our website. We hope to get this project in motion within a few weeks. We'll begin by tagging our collection with RFID tags. Joe will serve as Project Manager.
- Statistics took a turn toward the clouds last month. Use was up everywhere except Simmons, and it would have been there, too without those days closed for heating. It's so great to see more people coming and checking out items to take home. Thanks to everyone for your part in making KPL such a welcoming place!
