June 1st

Yes we are on to the count down! Start your engines and get that inventory done! I'm still reading and reading and reading. But by the 15th, I hope to have most of that done and that is when I start scanning!! Inventory, paper work, and keeping the kids amused is a little bit much. But some how June is here and will be gone before we know it. Keep breathing and believing that yes you will get it all done. Write down exactly what it is you need to accomplish and work toward those goals.

Summer??

I guess I was wrong on the summer part- rainy rainy cool! Still slowly reading reading reading. Also I am working on my budget- who says they cant' wait til the end of school? I have so much to do. So I am focusing on what is most important and working each day on what needs to be done. And I am not spending time on worrying will it get done because some how If I work and focus it always gets done, even If I don't have help. So focus and work and figure out what you want to accomplish . Work towards those goals.

Summer is here!

Summer is here- okay not officially but in reality I think most of our cold days are over. ( Except for maybe tomorrow) I hope you enjoyed your day. Are you ready to work tomorrow? No, I am not either but I must buckle down and get reading my shelves along with all the other thing Ineed to do before the end of the year.
One thing I do is to mark each shelf with a paper so that I will remember to write down what I have done. This also gives me motivation to keep going!

It's May!

Yes I know that I have been slacking on this blog- caught the stomach flu and was out of commission. What fun ! (Not Really) So it's May, are you reading your shelves? You should be! Do it now and do it correctly . When you get to inventory then you will have a much better time!

Busy Week

I 've had a busy week last week . This one proves to be also about the same! My workshop was great- but now back to Chase! I think the fire drill walk is today! More later!

How do your patrons check out their books? If you are public then obviously the patrons bring in their cards. If you are in a school ,you might have a variety of options. High School might have cards- or you might just type in their last name. Or you might have them listed by class and on a Rolodex where you can just flip to the class and zap their last name. Some elementary's use the notebook method where by each class is listed with students bar code and you can just wand over that. My system is a card system. As each class come to the library, I take out their class library cards. When it is check out time, the cards come out and the student gets there card before approaching the circulation desk.

Too cold out today! Get ready for a new week. I hope you are satisfied with the circulation desk area. Have you been clearing and organizing? If you have all of your items ready then you will be ready for anything.
When I go in to work this morning, I have everything ready for my mornings work. I do this at the end of each day- I stamp cards, and check my plan book. Then I pile up the materials I need for each class. I have my objectives written on my flip chart. This afternoon I will write out the three more objectives that I need for tomorrow. Then they are done for the week.
