About every other week, I will send out a weekly memo. The reason I do this is so I can keep the staff informed of various events, activities, policies, and other items that I need to tell them.
The weekly memo helps me because I can write it once and then know that I have told everyone what I needed to tell them and I don't have to ask- "Did I tell you.....?"
My next step will be to post the weekly memos on our library Libguide ( More on that in another post), so that the staff can refer back to the weekly memos easily and not have to search through their emails to find the email I sent.
Some items I might include: updates to policies and procedures, new programs coming up, food drive/pet drive month, opening & closing procedures, items to be done when at the circ desk, birthdays and graduations, monthly tasks, and other housekeeping items.
