I can say that without fear of harassment charges I think, since its Valentine's day week! And besides, who would try and sue Cappy Dick?
Only a couple of things I need to pass on to you all this week: Firstly, we have two new volunteers who will be doing shelving for us. Dan Chavitage who is here on Saturdays from 11-1, and Nancy Ellis who will be here on Thursday evenings from 4-7. This is part of the service model where shelving is done more by volunteers so that the aides can concentrate on discharging, route-ins, pulls list and covering breaks on the circulation desk. The whole plan won't really work smoothly, until we can get our discharge station moved off the front desk and back into Heather's old office so that the aides can discharge without being wrangled into answering the phone and doing lots of reference and circulation tasks, but the move is on the list for the IT crew and we are going in the right direction.
Please say hi to the volunteers if you work a shift with them, and offer your wisdom should they have questions.
Secondly, we have been instructed to only accept one bag or box of donations per patron per day. In the event that a patron comes in wanting to leave more then that, please kindly explain that due to staff cuts including our delivery drivers, we are unable to take large amounts of donations as they have to all be shipped downtown. Thank them for their interest in donating, and request that if they have large amounts they take them directly to the Friends of the Santa Cruz Library at the downtown branch. Or, you can refer them to myself and I will tell them the same.
Ok, here's hoping Cupid gives us all lots of those Trader Joe's Truffles for Valentine's day.
Thank you all,
J
