Reference Meeting minutes -- June 24, 2012


Holly        The part-time librarian position has been posted.  If you wish to request any of Evan’s collection areas, do so soon.  Holly will let you know if you get one.  Joe T. is digitizing the local history files, so if a folder is missing look in his mailbox.   

Susan S.  Elmore Leonard will speak at next May’s Friends Meeting.  We recently had an incident in which a skateboarder said that the “no skateboarding” policy wasn’t posted anywhere.  It is posted on our front door.  The newsletter proof should be here soon.  We are done with the Penn Theater ticket giveaway for this year.  We gave out 80 tickets. 

Evan        He has enjoyed working here and will miss us all desperately (paraphrased.) 

Carol       SRP is going well.  Reading participation numbers are down but programming numbers are good.  The Edge program is tonight and the final programs will be next week.   

Frank       Service desk computers have been replaced and Lab and Adult computers will be upgraded soon. 

Kathy P.  September is Overdrive Training Month.  There will be changes in how Overdrive works and we are encouraged to sign up for their classes.  Once the changes have taken place, Kathy will do a staff training session to refresh us.  Customized brochures for some of our more popular eReaders will be available soon.  28% of our monthly Overdrive usage occurs via mobile app.

Tim          Brown Bag Books will be discussing Shadow of the Wind tomorrow.  Tim will be starting a chess club on Tuesday afternoons.

Cathy L.   Tomorrow’s program is filled.  Cathy will not be here next week.  Alaina and Dana will  do her programs.  THE SRP has over 900 reviews! 

Barb        We had a good turnout for the teen computer tutors on Art Fair Saturday. 

Marjorie   A patron suggested that we have an after-hours adult book discussion pajama party.
