Cheyenne has completed training on Communico and the meeting room AV system. They can help with questions about using the meeting rooms, set up and troubleshoot the AV equipment, and manage bookings.
Cheyenne works on Thursday evenings and will be the main AV support contact in the meeting rooms during those hours.
We’ve had several calls today about a Reading Neighbors Event happening here at the library. We no longer have a separate calendar for outside events on the website.
To find information about an external organization’s event held at the library, check the Today at the Library schedule, which is located at each service desk. If they are looking for a future event, feel free to search Reserve on Communico. Instructions for searching are here. For more detailed information, direct questions back to the organization running the program.
Hi all, The Town Social Media and Website working group met today and has requested that for any image/static social media posts we include the library logo. Also, if we want to something shared to the Town of Reading social media account, send Katie or Joshua the image and blurb and they will share directly to that account.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Presentation pointers: We’ve got two new presentation pointers available. One will live in the white technology cabinet in the R and R staff workroom. The other will be in the ground floor cabinets with the extra meeting room technology equipment.
Thanks to everyone who sent the Communications team your favorite reads! And check out the Evergreen catalog list here.
We have had blue jays visit the Bird Buddy multiple times every morning. My favorite of these visits is this one:
Thanks to additional feedback on our website, we have updated and improved the Contact Us page to provide more detailed information.
We added an Administration section that lists me and Michelle (Director and Assistant Director) together with the rdgadmin@noblenet.email. Also, we added a “Full Staff List” button that takes visitors to the MBLC Directory, which now shows all regular employees and their job titles.
This setup makes things easier because we only need to update staff listings in one location (MBLC Directory). Just so you know, the MBLC directory also has staff emails and contact information private from the general public – only other librarians who sign in can see these details.
Thanks again for the feedback and for helping us improve the website.
Shout out to Dina and Meaghan for their amazing work organizing the admin office storage closet. It is clean and organized! Whohooo!
As support for Windows 10 comes to an end, we need to replace many of the staff computers. I am working with IT to review our computer inventory, and they will start replacing the computers in the coming weeks. You will receive advance notice before your computer is replaced, so there will be no surprises. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
The Trustees voted on a significant meeting room policy change that allows the public to book up to two business days (Monday through Friday) in advance. I will be updating Communico to make these changes.
Let me know if you have any questions.
