May 2011 Staff Meeting

From Janice:

Summer Reading Program
All instructions for the youth program are in the folder at the Children's desk. Kelly has a calendar of all the teen and youth programs, and copies will also be placed upstairs.

All of the teen program materials, including registration forms and prizes, will be upstairs.  Teens who register for the Summer Reading Program will receive a free book.  This is first come, first served until we run out of books.

Overdue Notices Returned in Mail
Lindsey has barred the patrons who have incorrect addresses.  Do not unbar any patron without proof of correct address.  Note on patron information should say that the patron has presented proof of correct addreess, date, and type of proof (phone bill, etc.).

Waterford Workshop Report
Janice, Lindsey, and Mary attended a SIRSI workshop in Waterford on Thursday, May 12.  The morning session was devoted to setting the function keys to create cataloging shortcuts.  The afternoon session was for circulation shortcuts.  Only persons with administrative clearance can do this.  We may have a staff inservice on this with our laptops.  The presenter talked rather fast and it was difficult to take notes.  Laptops were not provided to practice.  His PowerPoint slides are available on our email site and Amber has downloaded them.

Mary and Ginny
Mary is one of 3 finalists for the Clinton Library position.  Ginny's last day will be August 30 due to Al's health conditions.  We will be having a farewell dinner at Greenie's for her.
