News:
Jack: Portage County PL participated in the Scrabble tournament fundraiser held by the Portage County Literacy Council. The library participated in the Business Expo. Working on promoting their databases and have a brochure that includes how to access the database and what’s included in them.
Amanda: Recently hosted Keith Huie at their libraries – great program. Recommends the Dinosaur Holiday CD and there’s only 10 weeks left of school!
Connie: WSLL has a new web master. They have remote access to their databases and are working to promote them as well. Finished their annual review process and now have goals for this year. Preparing for National Library Week.
Kelly: Madison Public Library is changing to an online calendar so that patrons can register themselves for programs. Email reminders will be sent to people who register for programs – hoping to eliminate those no-shows. Sequoya Library is starting construction! The construction should be completed in about one year, to open late spring 2008.
Jill: Memorial Library: History of Great Lakes program Thursday, April 5 at 4 p.m. The Friends endowment has received a great gift and have reached their goal. Memorial and SLIS will again be sponsoring the Edible Books event. Working on installation of security cameras and redesigning web site.
Peggy: Columbus PL books sale brought in around $70 – selling books by the bag for $1 per bag. The board has prohibited the use of cell phones in the library. Page raises were approved. The library also has a new web site
Virginia: MATC faculty and student survey in process. Two longtime library staff plan to retire this summer. Some realigning of duties will happen before the positions are filled. MATC is also dealing with cell phone issues. Administration made the decision not to have public service hours on Saturday mornings. As a result, the library is fielding many questions as they are the only open door for people who need help. Email signoffs have changed as a result of an eye-opening piece in the WSLL Newsletter.
Respectfully submitted,
Amanda Moss, Maywood Elementary School
