1. The new service desk at SW arrived with missing hardware. Oh, surprise! The hardware has finally arrived and the maintenance crew will assemble the second half early next week.
2. NS is getting ready to extend their vinyl flooring down "main street" to the back windows. As soon as we can get that scheduled, we'll move ahead. The plan is to also replace the carpet on the side where the AV collection is currently housed.
3. The FOL Book Sale continues through the weekend. Sales are robust! Thanks to everyone who has volunteered so far!
4. The foundation has been gradually sinking where the new building meets the old at SW. Our structural engineer did a thorough assessment and assures us the building is safe. You'll notice the YFS floor is becoming more sloped. There's also a couple cracks in the drywall along the outside walls in adult NF. The architects are proposing to monitor the movement to determine the cause. The insurance company has been notified and will visit to assess the problem. Once we fix the floor in YFS we'll replace the flooring throughout the space.
From Michelle:
Two COVID updates for you:
1. I have updated and attached the KPL COVID process map for your review. Please make sure you have this document available to you if you have a COVID situation arise while out of the office and you need it for reference. If you have any questions about what you should do, please do not hesitate to reach out to your supervisor, your department head, or to me.
2. Vaccines for children 6 months and older are now readily available. Because parents may make the choice to vaccinate or not vaccinate, we are lifting the mask requirement for YFS staff and anyone working in the youth areas. If you are under COVID protocol, you must wear a mask per the protocol in any and all work related situations, in or outside of our buildings.
We still recommend social distancing and good hygiene to stop the spread of germs at work (hand washing, covering sneezes etc.) (Guidance attached)
And you may continue to mask at any time in any place while at work.
Thank you for your attention to this continuously evolving situation.

This week's Bright Spot nominations:
From Brandi: "I'd like to give a super special bright spot nomination to Brent, Max, Dan, Jason, Jeff, and Eric. These guys all jumped in and helped me problem solve in many ways - before 7:30 am and before I had had adequate caffeine. They are always willing to help - even when it pulls them away from the task they were trying to accomplish, and I appreciate how much they do to support all of us (often behind the scenes and without recognition).We're lucky to have these fellas on our team! "
From Barb:
Thanks to Nate for taking me along on the Horizon Park bookmobile stop. I had a blast and learned a lot about what we should be shopping for in the next bookmobile!
