Hey all,
Monday, April 23 marks the anniversary of BAYWATCH, and who could forget the "Hoff" sprinting along the beach on his way to rescue some bikini clad babe...just seemed apropos for Capitola by the sea and this beach weather we had over the weekend. But if Baywatch doesn't suit your fancy, April 23rd is also National Bulldogs are Beautiful day and personally I would rather look at a Bulldog then David Hasselhoff any day...
At any rate, regardless of the day, lets make everyday this week a Celebration at the Capitola branch!
Here's the latest:
We have a new collection of adult playaways now. We have had young adult and J playaways for awhile but this is the first we've gotten the adult titles on playaway. They are currently being shelved on our new books shelving, below the books on the inner shelves..
New books are arriving pre-labeled with big YELLOW tags on the spines instead of our usual orange, so if you see these don't assume they are for another branch. Since they are pre-processing them at HQ they use the yellow labels for all the branches.
Our current subscriptions of People and Time have expired but we will start receiving new issues in June, so if patrons ask you can let them know that or direct them to the service desk where we will tell them the same and request copies from other branches.
We have been finding a huge number of books "in transit" on our shelves. Please please please wait for the very slow turtle to show up or check the check in titles on the screen to make sure the item was actually scanned and that it belongs to Capitola, before putting it on a cart. Hopefully when we actually get our wiring enhanced the turtle won't be quite so slow, but we all need to get in the habit of double checking the screen.
The story time subject this week is Frogs, again. (actually it wasn't the subject last week, i just got confused about the date) so if you need Frog books for the patron or the pulls list they are still on my desk.
The friends of the library are now accepting e-readers, so if anyone asks or gives you one, please put them in the black friends crates in the workroom. Somehow i don't expect a flood of these to come in anytime soon, but you never know.
The library will be closed this Friday for staff day. We will put a big sign on the door and Gina is going to show up and discharge whatever comes through the book drop so we shouldn't be too impacted, although there may be some disgruntled patrons. Customer service is the focus this year so maybe those of us who attend will get some tips on how to handle them.
That's all for now. Ahoy and all that,
Cappy Dick
