ZOWEE!! WE had a record breaking program on Friday the 13th with the wonderful Carnival of the Animals Marionettes. I had no idea we could squeeze that many people into our building. No one alert the fire marshal! For those of you who missed it, it was quite amazing and I think our little branch has reached a new notch of popularity with a lot of the summer parents looking for ways to keep their kidlets entertained.
Apologies to all you aides who have to clean up the shelving mess. I think we might do some extra shelf reading in the children's area this week if you get a chance.
As you all have probably heard, Capitola is getting 6 more open hours starting Sept. 10th and we have been requested to survey our patrons on which of two open schedules they would prefer. The ballots are on the front desk and if anyone gives you a completed one there is a basket near the cash register to deposit it. We will be running the survey until July 28th.
There is a new policy on backdating returns that come in while we are closed. Please backdate only to the last day the branch was open.( Previously we had backdated two days from the last day the branch was open, but no longer.) This should be less confusing and problematic.
You will all be so sad, I am sure, to know that the Archie and Veronica comics in the revolving rack in the children's area, have been withdrawn due to low circulation and poor condition. If you get any in the returns please withdraw them, black out the barcode and stamp them discard inside the front page (or you can leave them on my desk and i will take care of them) and put them outside in the free magazine pile. Hopefully they won't return via the bookdrop over and over again....
There is an e-book class taking place here on Thursday, July 19th at 3 pm if anyone you know needs help learning how to check out and download library e-books on to their e-readers.
OK, that's all folks. The branch is looking great despite it high usage and that is due to all or you, so Thank you and have a wonderful week!
