Tricia and I had a moderately busy -- and yet still productive -- Saturday today. Here are a few updates for Monday:
1. In addition to welcoming Crystal aboard, Breanne, our new shelver/page, is also starting Monday. Her basic schedule to start will be short afternoon shifts, i.e., Mon 4-7 Weds 3-6 Fri 3-6 Sat 10-1. This may vary the first couple of weeks, seeing as she's in a Shakespeare production! She is marked on the big schedule calendar.
2. Library of Things: We'll be asking everyone to help take an inventory of the "things" in your area. A "thing" is a non-media item that circulates (with or without a barcode) or can be used by a patron in-house. Details to follow but please start looking around.
3. I just sent out a new Memo. It mentions changes to our book sale that are upcoming. For now, we may proceed as we have been with donation limits, but the book sale will be moving back inside. Patti is on point. Meanwhile, Connie (Trustee) will be collecting "Mysteries only" for an upcoming sale.
4. While I'm thinking of it, we should all be subscribed to -- and reading -- our own newsletters, right? ;-) https://mailchi.mp/wigginml/thememomidjune22
5. We've been recruited to help out at the Summerfest, AKA the one-day Stratham Fair, on July 16. This is an outstanding opportunity for us to be highly visible in the community. My wife Adriane and I will be scooping ice cream, and if you'd like to volunteer to help out, we'll be on ice cream duty from 11AM-6PM. More details to follow soon. https://www.strathamnh.gov/sites/g/files/vyhlif5051/f/uploads/summer_fest_0.pdf
6. Taking credit cards. I have finally found a way to use the Square app on the iPad to take cards *and* to have patrons cover the convenience fee (or most of it at least). I'll be showing everyone individually how this works in the coming days/weeks.
7. There are still 5 slots left, but we've reached critical mass for the Patriotic Wreath signups. (Yay!) Don't let that stop you from talking it up, though, as we'd love to sell this out. Remaining wreaths may potentially become take-and-makes.
