13:10:05	 From  Bethany Hultgren : the online Mad libs would be fun!
13:10:11	 From  Heather Kent : Under Insights on Facebook there is engagements/views.  One week out I'm recording the view's of items that were posted.  
13:11:04	 From  Lynn Montague : On FB you can look at the "LIVE" views
13:11:47	 From  Lynn Montague : Under engagements -- it will look much different than your views over time.  That way, you see how many were with you that day vs. the next day vs. one week
13:14:18	 From  Katy Hanousek : Thank you for the information on statistical reporting!
13:14:50	 From  Karen Wendt : Join Ms. Tiffany, our Teen Librarian, each Saturday to make some awesome crafts from home! On Mondays, Ms. Tiffany will post a supplies list for the upcoming craft on each respective Saturday. Videos will be available on Facebook and Instagram for as long as the library is closed due to COVID-19, so if you want to save the project ideas for a rainy day during the week, they will be available to you!

Share your kids' creations with us, and we will post on social media! Either send to us on Facebook or tag us in an Instagram post!

Mark yourself as "Interested" on Facebook in this event series for important updates and to view the actual events! Videos will also be shared on our main profile page.
13:17:24	 From  Jess McCarlson : Nora, do you watch it simultaneously or just at some point before your “meeting”
13:17:54	 From  Nora Scholl : before the meeting, we assign a series of ted talks
13:19:00	 From  Melissa Carollo : Sun Prairie has a teen Instagram that I've been posting videos to help connect with them and advertise our programs. (And I know I have actual teens that follow it!)
13:19:26	 From  Carey Kipp : We love her at Baraboo.
13:20:32	 From  Jess McCarlson : (I don’t have the greatest connection so don’t want to risk cutting out mid sentence)
13:20:44	 From  Jess McCarlson : We’re hoping to do the historical society journal project
13:20:51	 From  Jess McCarlson : as an inter-generational thing
13:20:52	 From  Beth VanCurine : Thank you Carey!
13:21:09	 From  Bethany Hultgren : I'm working on a virtual Escape Room.
13:21:20	 From  Carey Kipp : Helter Skelter - I like true crime.
13:21:28	 From  Lynn Montague : Sammy is an Escape Room expert!
13:21:32	 From  Bethany Hultgren : Just finished What I Carry. Loved it! 
13:21:51	 From  Catherine Baer : My book club is reading Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky - soooooo good! Will fit in with summer theme too.
13:22:37	 From  Amanda Bosky : I'm reading Pandemic 1918 about the 1918 flu outbreak. Hoping to find some encouragement and ideas for what the end of this sort of thing looks like, but it is definitely not a light/fun read at this time.
13:22:55	 From  Andrea Schmitz : Amanda , I’m reading that too!
13:23:21	 From  Carey Kipp : I go in the library to approve timesheet and pay bills and type up my board report. Drop of the weekly mail.

13:23:51	 From  Andrea Schmitz : The molasses flood was a wild story!
13:24:22	 From  Amanda Bosky : STO is doing same as Heather said for MCF, submitting orders to B&T and will receive and process as they are available. We're still going into the library one person at a time.
13:24:29	 From  Wendy Borden : Just finished Extraordinary Birds by Sandy Stark-McGinnis!
13:24:48	 From  Patty Hoggatt : The Language of Thorns by Leigh Bardugo. 
13:24:58	 From  Heather Kent : I did just finish Sleeping Beauties by Stephen and Owen King - what a book to be reading during a pandemic.  
13:25:02	 From  Nicole Ozanich : We discuss Wilder Girls last night at book club.  It is super strange, but unique, which I always appreciate!  I think teens would relate to the anger and survival strategies, and it's timely because on the current pandemic.
13:25:13	 From  Beth VanCurine : I LOVED Wilder Girls!
13:25:27	 From  Patty Hoggatt : I'm having SLP stuff come to my house.
13:26:19	 From  Jess McCarlson : Our director has asked that things (only a few orders that were already ready to go) ship to her house
13:26:23	 From  Dawn Foster : POR orders from amazon, too. I'm at the library right now and after this mtg. I'll be cataloging all the materials that have come in the past 2 weeks.
13:27:05	 From  Heather Kent : Any orders that come in from Amazon are supposed to go to Village Hall.
13:27:22	 From  Carey Kipp : I ordered a picture book from Amazon last week and had it delivered to my house. I used the book in my story time this morning. I also had SLP stuff coming to my house.
13:27:35	 From  Lynn Montague : We use Microsoft Teams
13:27:35	 From  Beth VanCurine : We’ve had weekly zoom meetings. The highlights of my week!
13:27:41	 From  Nicole Ozanich : ALL the emails!
13:27:46	 From  Brooke Mathews : We zoom twice a week. Also text each other often.
13:27:47	 From  Andrea Schmitz : Same @ MRO
13:27:58	 From  Andrea Schmitz : We also use Slack
13:27:58	 From  Beth VanCurine : Yes, lots of texts too!
13:28:10	 From  Bethany Hultgren : Mostly texts and emails.
13:28:11	 From  Jody DelaGardelle : love slack
13:28:18	 From  Carey Kipp : Baraboo, staff that does programming I have a zoom meeting once a week.
13:28:27	 From  Julie Harrison : I ordered from B&T yesterday and the boxes arrived today. I had to let them know we were receiving shipments (we have one person answering phones and receiving mail).
13:28:30	 From  Katy Hanousek : I meet daily (M-F) with my director and once a week by facetime for Poynette.
13:28:47	 From  Katy Hanousek : I meant to stay meet daily - meaning via email.
13:28:54	 From  Carey Kipp : I have a 3x a week zoom meeting with the Leadership team. I have one today at 2pm.
13:29:02	 From  Amanda Bosky : We use Trillian at STO.
13:29:12	 From  Jess McCarlson : Weekly Zoom supervisors meeting, weekly YS call (there’s just two of us), and a staff-wide text thread of photos of our pets and other random funny things (like a Dutch word of the day from one of our bilingual staff-persons)
13:29:14	 From  Amanda Bosky : I'm calling my children's staff once a week just to checkin.
13:29:37	 From  Lynn Montague : We also created a staff only FB group to stay in touch socially -- like a staff lounge
13:30:07	 From  Nicole Ozanich : I have a Messenger chat going with my Youth Services staff.
13:30:10	 From  Jess McCarlson : I love that idea, Lynn!
13:30:27	 From  Julie Harrison : Were using zoom - full staff meeting, management team, and youth services meet once a week.
13:30:51	 From  Lynn Montague : Microsoft Team works the same way as Slack -- we really like it at SUN
13:31:00	 From  Andrea Schmitz : Our director has sent out an email to all-staff each week so far just to check in & have staff share what they are up to
13:32:03	 From  Nicole Ozanich : I had to leave for a couple min. so maybe I missed it - are families asking for chapter book read alouds for older children?  Maybe like 3rd - 5th grade.  I'm not sure what the need is.
13:34:13	 From  Carey Kipp : I am a member of two Facebook homeschooling groups' pages
13:34:45	 From  Dawn Foster : Might be an administrator thing, too, Karen.
13:35:21	 From  Dawn Foster : So now you can make changes and do whatever!
13:36:43	 From  Katy Hanousek : Our chamber of commerce and the school district's Parents Group helps advertise for us by email.
13:43:52	 From  Andrea Schmitz : IFTTT (if this then that) is another great tool
13:44:23	 From  Andrea Schmitz : If allows you to set up crossposting to a variety of other SM sites
13:50:10	 From  Carey Kipp : I'm single with no kids and have cried. I feel guilty getting paid sitting at home doing nothing. Except my weekly story time.
13:51:00	 From  Jess McCarlson : Do you all ever worry if you’re adding to the noise that the families are dealing with?
13:51:29	 From  Karen Wendt : Yes Jess. 
13:51:53	 From  Nicole Ozanich : Yes, but we have regular storytime patrons that follow our live storytimes.  I think it's helpful to them because they recognize us and we give them some normalcy.
13:52:27	 From  Amanda Bosky : STO is limiting to 2 FB posts per day as someone else mentioned, trying to limit the "noise."
13:52:54	 From  Carey Kipp : a little. but our story times are only 15 minutes, but the kids get to see us and bring a little normalcy to the kid's lives.
13:53:09	 From  Karen Wendt : I really appreciate our library director is constantly making sure that we are first taking care of our family and wants to make sure that we are not getting overwhelmed... he wants just two posts per day and wants us to take care of our health
13:54:21	 From  Carey Kipp : We do one two programs on Tuesday, one on Wednesday and one on Thursdays. My library director has posted relevant informational posts, that the public needs to know.
13:54:34	 From  Andrea Schmitz : We are only creating video content for our regular recurring events (story time, bk clubs, paper craft, etc)
13:54:59	 From  Andrea Schmitz : It is posted at the same time/day that the events always occur!
13:55:25	 From  Karen Wendt : I keep running into the few books I have at home having content that makes me wonder - hugging friends, going to visit grandpa. Etc. Challenging. but I don't have choices of books and haven't learned yet to try to use digital books on FB live.
13:56:22	 From  Lynn Montague : Christina -- if you need more here's SUN's You Tube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2YzfReA2ZH-0IqrwKwgR0g
13:57:19	 From  Nicole Ozanich : I do a live storytime every weekday at 10:30 am every day through the Portage County Facebook page. #PCPLBookBreak - feel free to use!
13:57:50	 From  Heather Kent : My husband jokes with my "Hello Everybody" song because you touch your nose, toes, etc...  He says it should be "Hello, Everybody now don't touch your face!"  
13:57:58	 From  Karen Wendt : We put our digital programs on our regular website Calendar of Events. 
13:58:36	 From  Carey Kipp : I keep forgetting to do that, put the events on our website calendar. Thanks for the reminder.
13:59:29	 From  Andrea Schmitz : Sorry Shawn, I’m not raising my hand just tossing a ball for the dog!
13:59:38	 From  Carey Kipp : I have to leave to go to another zoom meeting. bye everybody. Beth let me know what I miss.

14:03:19	 From  Patty Hoggatt : Cambridge Sofa Stories every week. Themes are letters A-P-R-I-L.
14:03:27	 From  Karen Wendt : We just talked about that at noon today, to possibly cancel all programming until December
14:03:31	 From  Nicole Ozanich : I agree!  We are looking into an all digital SLP.
14:03:45	 From  Amanda Bosky : STO is prioritizing getting print books to patrons for SLP. If that's all we do we will count it a success.
14:04:17	 From  Catherine Baer : https://www.facebook.com/Rosemary-Garfoot-Public-Library-249179275151675/ also www.rgpl.org/kidsand families
14:04:57	 From  Catherine Baer : Thank you Lynn - this is very helpful to hear.
14:05:16	 From  Nora Scholl : what has everyone been doing to cancel/reschedule performers
14:05:17	 From  Brooke Mathews : New Glarus has weekly virtual storytimes (and a new virtual STEAM program), too. There's an event on our NGL FB page for each, they're held over in "Miss Brooke's Story Time - New Glarus Public Library" group (it's a public group).
14:06:13	 From  Heather Kent : lynn - look at beanstack - mcf is looking at buying it this summer

14:06:54	 From  Catherine Baer : I agree 100 percent, Lynn
14:08:32	 From  Heather Kent : Zoozort is tough - AND the crowds are huge for that.
14:09:07	 From  Lynn Montague : I'm not sure what to do for Noelle yet either...she does 2 full days at SUN
14:09:50	 From  Heather Kent : You know - she may be up for touring her animal care area and maybe feature more of her animals.  
14:09:58	 From  Amanda Bosky : They didn't teach us about this in library school ;)
14:10:11	 From  Katy Hanousek : Who else uses Beanstack
14:10:12	 From  Lynn Montague : That's true -- a video tour
14:10:14	 From  Nicole Ozanich : Ha, no Amanda, they certainly didn't!
14:10:41	 From  Karen Wendt : Great. SRP cancelling all in person events and how to go a different direction and how do we help families who have no online presence
14:10:45	 From  Amanda Bosky : Thank you everyone!
14:10:58	 From  Nicole Ozanich : Great to see you all and share!
