Periodicals Update

Hi.

As you know, this year, we are doing periodical adds and drops.  In conjunction with this, it seems useful to remind you of circulating do’s and don’ts.  The attached documents touch on what periodicals may or may not be circulated, FAQ’s regarding circulation of periodicals, and actual procedures for doing so.  Should you have questions regarding the FAQ’s or procedures, please contact Pat Ogea (31608) or Shirley Mattox (31610).  I will be happy to respond to any questions regarding what can and can’t be circulated.  Thanks.

Good afternoon, all-

Mayor Parker and Dan Krueger, the director of the Public Works Department, have asked us to distribute information sheets regarding the recently enacted Stage Two of the Water Conservation Plan.

The Print Shop is currently printing copies of the information sheet for distribution to our customers. Each location should see the first of these packets tomorrow. Please display them prominently for your customers when you receive them.

In the meantime, please print the attached and post in your public area.

Thanks. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Program Survey

Hello everyone, in an effort to give our community great customer service, we have created small surveys for customers to fill out regarding programming. These surveys can be found at both desks. If you could, when you are given one, please place it in one of the boxes I have set up. Desk 1's is on top of the laptop cart, Desk 2's is on top of the filing cabinet behind the desk chairs. Thank you Erik

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.

Thank you, John
