Happy Spring! Here's Some News

To all the Blues, Oranges, Golds and Greens,

Don't we all blend nicely together to create the best library team ever? Thanks for being YOU and bringing your best self to work every day!

From Rob:
In the coming weeks, you will hear footsteps on the roofs for Southwest and Northside. The Maintenance Team will be replacing the filters for the AC systems and cleaning out the coils for Summer time usage. In addition, Dan is working to have our HVAC contracts come out for annual maintenance on the systems, so you will hear more footsteps when they are out as well.
In addition, we expect to have the fire suppression system and alarm tested at Southwest and Northside on the 24th of this month. This involves the alarm being sounded for a moment, and the fire suppression system (aka sprinklers) to be flushed, verifying there is water in it.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Sue Vaal shared this moving commencement speech from a young woman challenged by autism. What a tremendous inspiration to us all!

This week's Bright Spot Award nominations:

From Marcia:

"I would like to nominate Lisa Langsdorf for the Bright Star award. Lisa is a pillar of support to all her co-workers at Northside branch. She is always willing to listen and steps in to help. Yesterday, in a very booked and crazy scheduling week, she volunteered to go with Kim and the book truck to a school event we were invited to with short notice. She just 'had a feeling' that Kim would need some extra help. We have all learned to trust Lisa's instincts because she has been around the block and is usually right. Kim and Lisa served 76 patrons and issued 41 library cards in less than two hours at Vernon School. Lisa is also doing an 'extra' after-school event this Friday (after the all-staff meeting) because it is our chance to interact with Lincoln Middle School kids. Lisa also celebrated 15 years of employment this past weekend. She is a KPL treasure."

From all of us:

Thanks to the amazing "Lunch Bunch" team for feeding us so well and spoiling us with those little gifts! 

Happy weekend, everyone!
