10:20:15	 From  Bethany Hultgren : the livestreaming performers might be an interesting idea, but they would have to be asked on a case by case basis. And the performance probably should not be left afterwards.
10:33:10	 From  Whitney Parrillo : Last year I moved to an experience prize for our grand-prize winner.  I drew names from our buckets and the winners won a Lego party at the library with friends.  They had two hours to play with Legos, could invite 6 friends and we served pizza and cupcakes.  
10:34:17	 From  Kelly Allen : I need to go. Thank you!
10:35:44	 From  Julie Harrison : We go to the Scholastic warehouse sale in DeForest each May; they're especially discounted there.
10:35:53	 From  Meagan Statz : We've used Books4Schools
10:35:54	 From  Whitney Parrillo : Last year we bought a bunch of books from the book warehouse on the southside of the beltline...can't think of what it's called right now
10:36:24	 From  Karen Wendt : Books4School
10:37:38	 From  Whitney Parrillo : Yes, thanks!  I love to wander around there but we ordered online from them...I would much rather give away a book than a toy. 
10:37:51	 From  Carolyn Seaver : We have also used the bulk Scholastic books in the age appropriate packages.
10:41:35	 From  Tiffany Helgerson : I have to take off—nice hearing from you all!!! 😊
10:45:47	 From  Heather Kent : Has anyone tried Beanstack?
10:46:46	 From  Raechel Schink : Heather, yes. At DeForest, we have been using Beanstack for about a year now. I will say that I find it easy to use, both as a patron and a librarian.
10:47:52	 From  Nora Scholl : we are looking into it as well I'm interested to learn more!
10:49:49	 From  Emily Henneman : we use it and love it!
10:52:10	 From  Emily Henneman : Heather we also do it for the 1000 book club!
10:52:14	 From  Brittany Sorg : Do you handle families that don't have great access to internet?
10:52:30	 From  Amanda Bosky : Can we talk about how to get books to lower income folks/people without internet and with low transportation?
10:53:21	 From  Amanda Bosky : I am finding the schools will not let me give them discards to share with patrons because of concerns about germs/congregating
10:55:07	 From  Katy Hanousek : Instead of asking our local businesses for financial support this summer, I plan on asking my Friends group for a stronger financial presence.  They could purchase gift certificates from our local businesses instead of me asking the businesses for their support. 
10:56:32	 From  Julie Harrison : I like that Beanstack has an app, since many people have mobile phones even if they don't have internet at home.
10:58:38	 From  Katie Ganser : we have book giveaways in the laundromat. i like the idea of leaving program materials there too.
11:00:51	 From  Whitney Parrillo : We set one up in our lobby in the weeks before we closed but I am now thinking of asking the Piggly Wiggly if we could put a LFL in their entryway
11:01:19	 From  Nora Scholl : heading to a staff meeting, thanks for the inspiring ideas all! 
11:01:52	 From  Dawn Foster : I’m almost out of power of my laptop so I’m going to sign off!!!
11:02:38	 From  Whitney Parrillo : I haven't been in since last Monday (I live 30 minutes away) but I have asked all my staff with the exception of my janitor to staff out of the building
11:02:57	 From  Whitney Parrillo : *stay out of the building
11:03:22	 From  Patty Hoggatt : I just go for materials.
11:03:50	 From  Jess McCarlson : I’m actually in a different state with my family. So I haven’t been in.
11:04:15	 From  Jess McCarlson : Circ. staff have been going in to clear the book drops
11:06:42	 From  Whitney Parrillo : Yes, I felt like I needed to make a detailed list for my board and municipality of what I can do at home so they can understand - I am not working 40 hours a week, but I am still getting work in (and probably overthinking about everything for more than 40 hours a week, lol)
11:07:15	 From  Amanda Bosky : I am keeping a daily log.
11:09:14	 From  Heather Kent : Same here.  And folders with papers from all of my plans.  
11:09:27	 From  Mary Ostrander : I think focusing on one platform is ok. Keeping all your stuff on one platform makes it easier for patrons to find you
11:10:05	 From  Jess McCarlson : I second what Mary said!!!
11:11:05	 From  Whitney Parrillo : Yes! It was good, the part on consistency was important to me
11:11:26	 From  Whitney Parrillo : do what you can from where you are
11:11:36	 From  Mary Ostrander : Your virtual programs do not have to be perfect!
11:12:19	 From  Amanda Bosky : I am trying to be consistent but I also worry … what if I get sick and can’t do story time? I am thinking of pre-recording some sessions that could be posted now and then. I don’t want the kids to feel scared if Miss Amanda gets sick and can’t do ST
11:12:29	 From  Andrea Schmitz : yes! I held my book upside down!!!
11:12:39	 From  Emily Henneman : yes we are all in this together ❤️
11:13:42	 From  Patty Hoggatt : Sure!
11:14:18	 From  Karen Wendt :   How to find our library kids if we didn’t use pre-registration and don’t have names/emails

11:15:13	 From  Andrea Schmitz : Thank you, all!
11:16:00	 From  Amanda Bosky : Thanks everybody!
11:16:17	 From  Brittany Sorg : Thanks
11:16:22	 From  Jess McCarlson : Stay well, everyone!!! Thanks!!!
