The City is moving forward with its plans to bring high speed Internet to every resident. There will still be Internet Service Providers like ATT and Spectrum, so this is not a free service, but it is an opportunity for growth in a world that relies so heavily on technology and it will be part of the city's new buildings downtown, in the Uptown neighborhood, and in the new KIN project. Check your email for all the details I've forwarded from Public Works. We'll arrange for a special meeting with the SciFi rep and Public Services staff so we can have more answers in hand when the community calls on us with questions about this city project.
Brandi has arranged for us to showcase the new Children's Library project at the upcoming KABA Inspire event in October. You might see us filming a short promotional video late next week to take with us.
Those of you who work at SW might be wondering when the front door will be fixed. There is a supply problem keeping us from a quick fix. As soon as the parts arrive, we'll get it done. You might also be wondering what we're doing toward the back window with those new low shelving units. Our talented Jason Holmes (my Bright Spot nominee this week!) has crafted magazine shelves from pieces and parts in storage. We'll arrange this low shelving around the new soft seating on order and shelve the magazine and newspaper collection in plexiglass cubes on those low units. See the YA magazines section @SW for an example. Here's an example from Waunakee PL, as well. If you ever get up that way, do stop in. Their library is absolutely stunning.
Karen sent in these Bright Spots for the week:
"Thank you Megan for listening intently to a mom of one of our teen patrons who has had some not so great experiences in the past. Megan showed empathy and apologized for what had happened and really helped both the mom and daughter feel more at ease when using the library. Kudos to you Megan!!
Thank you Heather for always being so understanding when some last minute personal issues have come up and I have had to leave work. You are an AMAZING BOSS!! Thank you for being so flexible with our schedule!
Thank you Alejandria!! The Teen Books look great!! Lately, I have been showing this area to several parents of teens and they love how the shelves are labeled. They can't wait to show their teens! Thank you!
Thank you Alejandria for taking time out of your busy schedule to organize the craft, program supplies and updating the inventory spreadsheet. YFS would never be able to find anything if it weren't for your organizational skills! THANK YOU!!"
Have a fabulous holiday weekend, everyone!
Barb
