In attendance: Djuina, Shirley, Kitty, Tula, Cedric, LeRoy, Dena, Maggie, Nathan, and Virginia.
The meeting started out with a tour of the new Young Library. The building will house close to 50 computers, not including laptops. It will house a large meeting room, conference room, study rooms, and training/computer lab.
Top news: Kitty and Norola are leaving Smith, for Kendall and Central, respectively. Kitty will officially be moved to Kendall by Dec. 2nd. If anyone can help out with the storytime/crafttime at Smith, let Djuina know.
Virginia mentioned the trouble with outreaches and the community engagement. It has to do with double bookings; both a library location and the c.e. show up for outreach to sign up cards and it could have been avoided. It also would help with staff scheduling if they knew c.e. was going to be there in advance, that way they would not have to juggle staff around.**Djuina suggests having a link on a site that has a outreach request sheet; 48 hour or more notice would be needed.
Tula and Tega have readdressed the manager's blog to now include the asst. managers of the southeast. If you want to have posting capabilities to the blog, give Tula your gmail address so she can add you to the permissions.
ARTICLE DISCUSSION:
Manager vs. Leader
