1.NoveList Plus exploration (Isabel and Melinda)
 Database presentations continued this week, with Isabel and Melinda presenting on NoveList Plus. We covered tons of features of NoveList, including Readalikes, browsing categories, searching/advanced searching, linkage between HPL Enterprise catalog and NoveList, and way more. A huge thanks to Isabel & Melinda for leading us through it!

2. COH Health Care Enrollment
Open enrollment begins today and ends on April 13th. You can select or revise your plan by logging into ESS. 

Angela: There are new dental and vision plans!

Staff received an email yesterday morning from COH Benefits, where you can find information about changes in plans, copays, and networks. 
    3. Volunteer Project
    A huge thanks to everyone for being so welcoming towards our large group (10!) of volunteers from EDP Renewables last Friday! They had a great time volunteering with us. Our end caps are now free of tape and our shelves are less dusty.

    Open Discussion
    Cyrano: Yesterday there was an issue with a youth patron who had two cards: one with only her grandmother's signature and another with only her mother's. Her mother wanted information from the card that the grandmother had opened. I contacted Circ Admin for advice on what to do in this case. Julia: Will follow up with Circ Admin about policy on this. 

    Isabel: Don't forget to straighten while roaming!
    Thanks, Isabel, for straightening so thoroughly yesterday.

    Angela: A daycare is taking a field trip to Collier this morning. We'll do a Story Time in the Kids area and then move into the Meeting Room for crafts and computer fun. Melinda will be helping out.
