Staff Meeting Summary 8-15-11

Just a few things to keep in mind:

• If there is a blank on your schedule, use your judgment to fill the time with something that needs to be done. Edit the schedule to indicate what you have accomplished (If you need assistance, please ask). Brief notes are acceptable. This keeps everyone accountable and on task.
• Kronos goes live Saturday, August 20th. If you were not able to attend this morning's staff meeting, a copy of the user manual was placed in your mailbox. All staff members have been scheduled to attend one of the training sessions being held Tuesday, August 16th, at Oak Forest.
• If you would like to give us the pleasure of sharing your birthday celebration, please email your date to me. Near the date, I will announce acceptance of donations and purchase a cake. Celebrations will be held Wednesday mornings (11:15ish) to allow all staff to participate prior to opening to the public.

Erin

Staff Meeting on Tuesday Aug. 2nd

Please get any agenda items to me, so I can include them. I'll invite Erin to give you all a chance to meet her. Of course, Kendall is so busy she may not be able to make it.
Thank you, John

Remember Potluck Aug. 3rd!

NOTE: WE MOVED IT TO WEDNESDAY!!!!

We'll have a pot luck on Wednesday August 3rd. This will be a good chance to pat ourselves on the back for the great job everyone is doing. I know this isn't an easy time, but let's make this a real celebration for all of our hard work.
Sign up is in the work room.
See you there!
John

Remember Gate Count

We are doing the gate count starting on Monday! The sheets are on the circ desk. We need to do an hourly gate count and count everything we pick up too. Please be sure to write it all down!
Thank you, John

OOPS!!! New Hours Postponed

Update: Mike sent an email that said "Due to logistical issues, the implementation for the hour change has been delayed. As of right now, the tentative plan is to push the change back one week. This would make the implementation date August 8th."

I'm working on the schedule right now, so let me know if you have any changes you want to make.
Thank you, John

Cleaning up the building

Hi everyone, Hopefully everyone is noticing the little changes that we're implementing here at Collier. I'll try to keep you all abreast of the changes so you don't miss anything.
*We moved one of the new book displays by the Reference desk and the New Books, this opened up the lobby so we could draw more attention to the self-check computers. (Which are really starting to be used!)
*We also moved the table from the work room to the foyer and now have all of the fliers (which were on the Reference desk) on it. This allowed us to clean off the Reference Desk counter top. (BTW,the volunteer/meeting room sign up sheets are now under the counter on the gold colored book cart.)
*We also moved all of the display books off the top of the Children's shelving. All posters have been removed from the end of shelves and shelves have been cleaned. (Please remember NO tape to hold up posters.)

I'll add things as I remember them. Thank you for all of your help in making Collier one of the gems of HPL!!!
John.

Door Count Next Week

Door Count starts on Monday and continues through the week. I will get the sheets out on Saturday to make sure that we are ready. Remember that this includes gate counts, and daily pick up.

Two quick clarifications concerning the up-coming Door Count:

1) Early Literacy Station will no longer be counted. We fulfilled the grant requirements.
Thanks again for your efforts in collecting this information!

2) In House Material use -- I am only interested in the daily counts. Some of you may still show hourly counts for in house materials on your template. If it is easier for you to count hourly, then please do so, but it is not required.

Thank you for your help on this!
John
