Librarians on TikTok and a Bright Spot Nomination

The Prairie Lakes Library System (formerly Arrowhead and Lakeshores Library Systems) is talking about starting a seed packet library, but there are many hurdles to overcome including state health safety regulations. Since we have so much going on already and the seed library requires repackaging and labeling that we don't have the bandwidth for, we're not going to participate this year. I know some of you liked the idea and I wanted to give you an update. 

Our next library board meeting is Tuesday at Southwest starting at 5:30pm. We'll hear from all our strategic planning teams about the progress we've made and what's left to do. Our new HR Manager Michelle Tucker will be in attendance that evening, as well, so drop by if you can and say hello.

If you're considering making your home more energy efficient, or you've made some upgrades this year, here's a great chart that shows what the federal tax incentives are for 2022 and 2023.

This week's Bright Spot Award nomination comes from Rob:

"I want to give Dan, Jason, Jeff, and Eric a bright spot for their work on the Southwest Lobby. It looks wonderful, and there have already been patron comments on how nice it looks. "

I'll add that Brandi was the mastermind behind the project, so thanks, Brandi!
