Well changes continue to be afoot here at the Capitola library, the biggest one being that David is moving on to the big city where he will become an LAIII at the Downtown branch. HUGE CONGRATS DAVID! We will miss you and we will be calling you constantly for help trouble shooting our evergreen issues! You can't escape that easily!!
I don't know yet who will be replacing him as interviews for his position are next week. We will also be adding another 20 hour LAII position to coincide with our increase in hours that will take place starting Sept. 10th. The days open will continue to be the same but we will be opening earlier on Tuesdays and Thursdays (at 11, instead of 1) so we will need some extra help to cover all the open hours.
Hooray, the Sand is gone so if any of our patrons come in and are sad, please send them directly to the beach. I have put out a bin of foam blocks and contraptions and those seem to be pretty popular, not to mention a lot easier to clean up.
We are now receiving the SF. Chronicle along with our other papers, so please process it as usual and put it on the table with the Parjaronian. I will designate some shelving for it in the workroom and I am also in the process of making a new newspaper check in sheet which I hope to have in place by Tuesday pm. In the meantime, just write it at the bottom of the sheet.
I have also moved the bulletin board in-basket off the volunteer desk (which will soon become a shared work space for our 20 hour person ) and put it next to the periodicals in-basket above the Sentinel shelving in the workroom, in case you are looking for it.
There has been a rash of items that do not belong to us on our shelves, so please please slow down when you are checking items in and wait to see if that turtle appears or else check the list of titles on the check in page and make sure that the item you are scanning REALLY HAS SCANNED. I think what is happening is that because the tortoise is so slow to appear (how apropos) we are assuming that an items is checked in and belongs to our collection when in fact a minute or two later the tortoise will appear and we will have moved on to another item. At any rate, do pop open the books and check for the Cap assignment inside and do watch that screen. Evergreen has some limitations and speed is one of them, so don't panic when the book bin is full, take your time. I would prefer accuracy to speed at this point and we will always have lulls to catch up.
Other then that, I think we are doing magnificently. The branch is looking great and that reflects well on all of you!
Happy August,
Cappy Dick
