Communications: Observances
The Communications Team put together a Google sheet of observances (ie: Women’s History Month, National Family Literacy Day) that we will use for creating social media posts, book displays, book lists, and more over the course of the year. The sheet is linked to here on the Intranet under Staff Tools: Calendars OR the Forms page.
All staff are encouraged to contribute if you’d like! You can add observances to the Google sheet, and also add your initials if you’d like to help out with a display, book list, etc. If you make any changes to the sheet or have any questions, please reach out to either Michelle or Desiree.
Compliment
Patron called today for a holds pickup appt and stated what a wonderful job the library has done during this “crazy” (patron’s words) past year. All of the changes and hard work we have done for them to borrow material. Yay
Library Love
Help us with our February holds pickup display! Get a paper heart at the Borrowers’ Services desk and write on it what you love about the library. Thanks!

Why librarians wear cardigans.
Service Animals
If a patron comes in with a service animal, the Americans with Disabilities Act allows us to only ask two questions:
1. Is the service animal for a disability?
2. What tasks is the animal trained to perform?
We cannot ask to see documentation or require the animal to perform its task.
