We started off with a tour of Collier followed by light refreshments.
Craig Bertuglia will be at Park Place while Dena is out.
Scenic Woods will be the 1st Techlink location and might be closed for renovations. Check out the email from Dr. Lawson about more Techlink information.
The interns will be overseen by Ophelia, for HPL, if you have any questions or concerns.
Interviews for FT CSC positions will be conducted next week over a 2-day period.
Dominick is the new manager for Jungman location and Isabella will be joining him from Collier.
If you were expecting a self-check system, they are on hold and waiting for the new FY fiscal year to start.
HEAR reviews are due. Take your time and if you need a quiet space, utilize one of your nearby locations to work at instead of your own branch(es).
*DJUINA'S COMMITMENT* She is going to schedule at least 1 visit per month per location. Sometimes circumstances and meetings happen which prevent her from making it to all her locations each week or bi-weekly.
What are the new programs that are going on at your locations:
Julia from Collier said that both her and Angela went to the planetary conservatory and have gotten some great ideas. At the end of the Summer they will host a "Star Party" in the meeting room, setting up their own planetarium. Collier has also been doing shifting but it is helping the staff. (Djuina suggests contacting Esther about borrowing a scanner to use for the books to help with missing or lost items.)
Maggie from Bracewell said they brought little fish water squirts, bubbles chalk, etc and had their 2nd annual outdoor bash the previous day. The kids have fun and get to enjoy all the sun and games.
Shirley from Melcher said her location is currently closed due to A/C but prior to closure Robert and other staff members were doing outreach to schools in the area and were expecting a large crowd for their summer programs.
Nathan from Stanaker was able to do outreach to schools, business and apartments. He is anxious to see the results of his work for the summer programs.
Melissa from Looscan/Montrose stated that Looscan will host adult storytimes. Montrose will by hosting publishing workshops on how to upload their books to kindle and connect to writing groups.
Kitty from Smith/Young said Young had cancelled all their programming b/c they were expecting to be closed by the time SRP started up. Now they have been doing short notice programs. Smith has done weeding but has an empty range so they are going to work on getting that spread back out. The ASZ food program was a great success, especially after staff created a "share table".
Tula from Mancuso said her branch was hoping to start doing citizenship classes. (Djuina suggested to email Helen Chou first, because she is trying to see which locations are interested in getting citizenship classes and may want it to be more unified and standardized) Also, getting ready to be doing basic FB and Twitter classes for adults, which Robert will be teaching.
In the end the group discussed the article. We talked about how manager's can't delegate everything (i.e. Kronos, HEAR) but those are things that do keep you busy.
Feel free to add anything if you have your own notes!!!
