Paperbacks

Certain paperbacks aren't fitting. Kathryn will assign a page to remove ones that are in bad condition. We can then re-evaluate the letters and possibly have a higher range on some racks. Labels can be made on the label maker. Tech knows how to do this.

Mending slips

I will put the new mending slips in the top right drawer. Any item to go to mending needs to be signed off by a librarian and needs it's status changed to mending. With all of Kathy's added responsibilities, she is getting behind on even quick tasks such as spine labels.

Calendar changes

With vacations or green slip changes, please remember to change the calendar on our desk and on Google.

Thanks,

Grab bags again

We will start the grab bag program on Tuesday morning because Monday is registration. The circulation desk will put the bag in a plastic bag in the case of rain. We also need to change status on the items to Children's Department, in case the material is being searched on the hold list. We hope that bags will be returned, we'll have to wait and see.

October

October calendar is finished. Let me know if everything seems OK.

Baker and Taylor ordering

Sylvia has given us a friendly reminder that when ordering in B&T, put notes in the note field when necessary. (Duplicate copy, replace mending, show to librarian, yellow stripe,Holiday, etc.)

Thanks,

Babytime

I think that, depending on your classroom schedule,Paula, we will have you start a Babytime group in the Winter-5 weeks of Toddler and maybe 4 of Baby and do the same for Spring and the following Fall. I think that since we are all here next Friday, we could have you visit Barnes and Nobles' baby group with Grandma Fay. I remember seeing Mastiches, Moriches and Shirley Library's babytime being a mostly music time!

Grab Bag program

Katie will be decorating a Grab Bag on Saturday. I will also have Katie make a poster advertising the program. I have talked to Lorri and Val about starting this program and they thought it would be fine. I will bring it up in the staff meeting on Thursday. I have printed out a paper on what we can include in each bag for different age groups. We will each take an age group and then we will all work on Gr. 4 and up. Paula- Toddler, Marcia- Preschool, Becky- Grades 1-3. If this program works, we will continue it and make adjustments as necessary.

Thanks,
Becky
