And congratulations to Dana Purucker for winning the Bright Spot Award for the week! Here's her nomination:
I would like to nominate Dana Purucker for Gold star spotlight award. Dana asked Martha if she could get tech training so she could provide one on one tech assistance at Simmons & Uptown. Martha contacted me to set it up. Dana and I met for a 2hr one on one training session yesterday afternoon in the Simmons Childrens room.
I used the RTG onboard training as a loose guide. We covered Overdrive, Libby, Hoopla, Freegal, Lynda.com, Pronunciator and wifi printing. We also talked about the most common devices people have and the most common tech issues we assist with. Dana did a great job and is ready to start taking tech problems. If anything comes her way that she can't figure out, I let her know that she can call over to the SW Ref Desk and get phone assistance from whoever is on duty. A lot of the the tech support is just figuring it out as it comes and then learning from the experience. So the best way to learn is to just start doing it!
Thanks to Marcia for calling out Dana's extraordinary commitment to great library service! Martha tells me she couldn't agree more!
Here's what else you need to know:
- The KPL Foundation's annual gala is fast approaching! We'll be in library park the night of Saturday, September 8th with an empty new bookmobile trying to raise funds for the books, magazines, and other library materials to fill the inside.
- Board meeting Tuesday evening at the Civic Center. We;ll review the budget proposal we sent to the city.
- Chalk it Up is at SW this year, Saturday August 25
- ComicCon @SW on Saturday August 17th. Helpers needed!
- Simmons and Civic Center parking lot paving and re-striping Saturday August 18.
- SW parking lot paving and re-striping August 21 and August 28. Signage for all paving projects will come from Brandi and Aaron. Dan will orchestrate alternative paths for staff and public.
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
