MAY DAY MAY DAY!

Ahoy Mateys,
Life was running so smoothly last week Cappy D. decided not to write a post at all, but I don't want y'all to get too complacent and assume that the Captain isn't on the job, so just to keep you on your toes, here's a post for the beginning of May. I realize that May doesn't start until Wednesday but I am going to be too busy then to write so you can have a head start.
  To get you off on the right foot here's a fine May quote:
It's May! It's May! The lusty month of May! Those dreary vows that ev'ryone makes, Ev'ryone breaks. Ev'ryone makes divine mistakes! The lusty month of May!" - Lerner and Lowe

  Firstly, Galina is off to Russia until the end of May so we will all have to work triple hard to fill her sandals!. We will have a variety of subs filling her shifts so those of us who are regular Capitola staff will need to be extra diligent in making sure that in the case of  "divine mistakes" like the poem says, things get taken care of,  check-ins put in the correct crates, displays kept up, etc. We have a pretty good crew of subs but they won't be as familiar with our branch as we are, so please keep an eye out for anomalies that you can take care of and help them if they are looking for supplies, etc.  I will be around so let me know if you are seeing areas or issues that might need addressing.
   Donna will be handling damages in Galina's absence so please put those on Donna's desk for the month of May.
   I will take care of the unclaimed list and the displays.
 For May the displays will be Gardens and gardening, both for the adults and children's areas. I will put those up on May 1st or 2nd, depending on the work flow, so feel free to add to them as you find appropriate materials. We have a lot of books on this subject so rather than clean out our shelves in the 635s I will just pull a few at a time and replenish the display as the month continues.
   The story hour subject this week is also Flowers and gardening so rather then collect those books at my desk, I will keep them on the display. Therefore, look there after Tuesday if you are seeking gardening books for your pulls list.

The May pull date for new books is 11, so pull all the books with the spine sticker 11 this month.

Ok, I think that's all the news thats fit to print so off with you. Go out and enjoy the lusty month of May, but don't get arrested!
  Cappy Dick
