With our new Simmons and Uptown Branch Manager on his way, we've been brainstorming where we can set up one more staff office for Linda, who's been using the one at Simmons. The only viable option is for one of us to move to the purple room at SW, so I will be moving my office into that space in the coming week and Linda will be returning to my current office space in the SW circ workroom. For now, the KCM students who need to edit their files will continue to do so on the machines along the back wall outside the KCM office. It isn't optimal, but it's working. Hopefully we can create a little staff work space at the new Uptown Children's Library to help with our cramped quarters.
There's a big hole at the bottom of the back steps into Simmons. We're finally fixing the drain at the bottom that's been flooding that area for years. Staff will need to enter the front of the building until that work is completed- see Linda for details.
From Alejandria: Please be aware that the Southwest Library Teen Space will be open Summer Hours starting next week. We will be open 1:00-6:00 PM through summer.

This week's Bright Spot nominations come from Brandi and Elkid:
From Brandi: "I'd like to nominate Jason and Jeff. Jason and Jeff lead a Women in Focus Ms. Fix-It workshop for students of the Kenosha Literacy Council, teaching them basic tool skills and home repair. We all know just how busy these guys are - their willingness to use their skills to help guide others shows their commitment to the library's mission. Super proud of these two bright stars!"
Also from Brandi: "Our very own Kelly is a regionally recognized artist! How lucky are we to have such talent on staff? Not only does Kelly do an amazing job working in collection services but she also lends us her artistic talent from time to time. Keep an eye out for a pop-art-inspired photo backdrop at Nights at Northside that Kelly is making just for our event!
Elkid nominating Amy H: "A group of young boys came on the BKM at Harborside and they were so excited about the pictures on the APA (Asian Pacific Americans) display. They didn't register that it was about APA Heritage Month. They were pointing to the pictures of the athletes and just sharing stats and facts in that overly excited way that middle schoolers do. It was really cool to watch and let them fill me in on all kinds of sports news.
On a side note, did you know that Manti Te'o is the tallest player in the NFL?*
