Well Cappy Dick's brain is still on vacation so this will be a pretty innocuous blog but that's OK because it was pretty obvious upon my return from my time away that everything ran smoothly and you didn't need me around any how! Fine by me, I guess I will schedule lots more vacations! Seriously, Thank you for being such a reliable and competent staff!
The only upcoming item of interest is Poem in your pocket day, which is officially Monday, but which we will be celebrating starting Tuesday. This is part of National Poetry Month and is part of a program initiated by our programming staff but implemented by us. We will be receiving many pocket size poems which we are to strew around the branch in secret and not so secret places. I will attach some book pockets filled with poems to the side of our poetry display as well as let our Junior Volunteer Jenny Bui place some around the branch. There are both adult and kidlet style poems, and some about dogs for our Tales to Tails gang. At any rate, if when you are shelving you come across a poem or two don't be alarmed; you can leave them be as a surprise for our patrons.
Also, if you check in poetry books you may add them to our Poetry display near the new books.
Speaking of new books, we should start receiving those from HQ with the spines already labeled with the new date stickers, so they can go directly to our new book display area. I am not sure when this is going to start however, so in the meantime, keep an eye out for new books (2012 or later 2011).
Next Friday's Story hour is Frogs so look for any frog books that you can't find on my desk. As always you are welcome to take them for the pulls list or for patron requests.
I think that's all for now. May we all have a grand week!
Cappy Dick
