- Pumpkin Carving Contest at CMC Fall Festival at CEN on Friday, Oct. 28. $5 entry fee, ideas welcomed. We have two pumpkins--one ugly one, one beautiful one--plus assorted smaller pumpkins to attach/decorate and other supplies. The carving should be ready by Thursday evening so Karen can deliver it when she goes to the CE Managers Meeting Friday morning.
- Staff Development Day was a win according to the KEN staff. Esp. popular--gift cards and other prizes, presentation from HEB, info about lending hotspots, location at JIB, seeing colleagues from other locations.
- Work at giving great customer service, as talked about in the HEB session at SDD, esp. the element of surprise and random acts of surprise.
- Remember all books with yellow labels are not to be discarded. Please p ut them in the float bins. These are leased items and need to be returned when we don't need them or they're in poor condition.
- Classics that are cataloged can be put on the the shelves with other cataloged items. Non-cataloged classics still go on the designated shelves by the restrooms.
- Please log all "orphan" items (those belonging to non-HPL libraries). Do not put them in the Lost & Found bin.
- When pulling items to float, please discharge them first to make sure there are no holds and they're off the customers' accounts. Check the condition too--items in poor condition should be discarded, not floated.
- When the picture book bin on the sorter fills up, the overflow will go into Bin 9. If you can scan the book on the RFID pad, it doesn't need a new label. Karen is going to see if we can get Bin 9 changed to an overflow bin for picture books.
- Pam asks us to save all small empty water bottles for her New Year's Eve kids party--she's using them to make noisemakers. She'll put a bag in the break room for collection.
