Collier Puts Safety First!

PROM U Debut

Hi all
As most of you know Youth Programming launched our first annual PROM U program last week.  Each day was dedicated to a different aspect of preparing for a big event (dance, attending a wedding, birthday party).  The ladies were treated to make-up and hair tips along with our fabulous Dress Drive courtesy of ShaRhonda's hard work in outreach for donated dresses.  Amethyst booked hair and make up talent and we all handled the gentlemen days of learning to tie a proper tie and the history of the corsage - this was most entertaining.
Attached are photos for you to enjoy!

Family Time: Easter Celebration

We had a fun time this past Saturday letting our families participate in an indoor Easter egg hunt.  Special thanks to Amethyst and ShaRhonda for turning our meeting room into a "park" with the Easter Bunny residing over all the fun!

Collier Youth Programs April!

Hello All
Collier is building great programs for our youth of all ages.  Recently, we launched our first Family Time on Saturday, April 4, 2014.  This program is for 3 months old to 5 years old and is a modified baby / story time for those families who cannot attend our regularly scheduled Story Time on Tuesdays and Baby Time on Thursdays.
We had a good kick off and look forward to our next Family Time on April 19 when we will have an indoor Easter Egg Hunt for our young customers and their families.

April is National Poetry Month and that means: Teen poetry contest.  To enter, teens create poetry using different materials and submit their creations to our poetry wall in the teen section. The person with the most "poetry points" receives a private poetry party on a Saturday at the library.  Lunch is catered, favorite poems read and a movie to follow!

We have debut the Rainbow Looms in our ASZ to huge success.  We are looking forward to all the creativity that comes out of these crafty machines!

And finally, Collier is celebrating Children's Book Celebration by setting up craft tables on Saturdays to help children enter the CBC contest.  So far we are enjoying all the fun and creativity our youth have to offer!!

Team Members' Roles

<Team Members Roles>

The text above is a link to a spreadsheet that was created to give everyone in the Collier Team an overview on how integral each one of us are in this team. The primary role(s) of each team member have been listed to inform each other of (1) who to go to for questions or relay information and (2) how important each of our roles are in order to function properly as a team at this synergized facility.

Please click on the link at the top and examine this information carefully. I want you to think of your role and how you fit in the big picture. Our parts are critical not just in this team, but in the HPL system and the people who access our services and resources. Every action and behavior exhibited is an opportunity to positively impact an individual and cause a ripple effect. Remember every person--each one of us and our customers--has the same fundamental goal of becoming a better person and/or making life easier/better to live in. Go forth and make this pursuit of happiness easier for all!
