Please continue to send me any app issues and I will submit a ticket with Communico. Here are some updates on known issues:
The checkout history does not show up in the app, Communico is aware and is working on a solution.
Holds cannot be suspended through the app, Communico is aware and working on a solution.
Items that should not renew, appear to renew in Communico-but they aren’t renewed (items with a hold/items that have reached the renewal limit). Communico is working on this.
Just a reminder: I have swag available in my office. These could be used for outreach, welcome bags, programs, etc.
Turtle stress balls
Calm strips
Notebooks
Colored Pencils
RPL mugs
Blue lanyards
If you want to come grab some for programs or events, please do!
Hi all,
The majority of presentations and hybrid meetings in the conference room can be conducted wirelessly. I’ve updated the instructions to reflect that.
If staff want to use HDMI for a wired presentation, I’ve moved the adaptor and HDMI cord to the ground-floor desk with the other cords/adaptors.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!
Hi everyone,
I am working on a list of our local partner organizations and the RPL staff liaisons. I thought we’d already had one, but I can’t find it it lives on the S drive under: Library Files\02 Working Groups and Teams\Outreach Working Group
While this is a living document, I’d like to have any current liaisons listed by Thursday, December 19th.
Thanks!
Michelle
Updated Conference Room instructions and Community Room AV instructions have been created. A printed copy is available in the Conference Room. They are saved on the Instructions Page of the staff intranet and are on the S drive under Library Files\Manuals-Instructions\Meeting Room Instructions.
Please use the stylus pen on the touch screen at the print release station.
Also, TBS updated the credit card machine today. If you notice any issues, please let me know.
I am working to develop a collection of professional books and materials to eventually be available for internal use by RPL employees in the staff lounge.
When you get a chance, please take a look around your offices and at home to see if you have any materials marked “workroom” or any other relevant items from your personal collection that you are willing to share to help advance the professional development of your peers.
Feel free to drop items off to me in Admin or in my mailbox.
Hi everyone,
We want staff to send us pictures of your museum pass visits and we will promote it via social media.
We are also choosing new swag to give away at outreach events, if you have suggestions, including any environmentally friendly swag, let Desiree or Michelle know.
The editorial calendar form has been updated to better reflect PR options available for programs, services, and collections. The google form works the same way as it did previously.
This is also a quick reminder that the Off the Shelf newsletter is now monthly, deploying approximately the first Tuesday of each month. Spur of the moment or last minute town department news to share will go out on a dedicated News Around Town email. We’re also trialing a weekly Friday or Monday FB/Instagram post with 4-5 programs (or a service or a collection) highlight and reminder to check the event calendar for details. 
We’ll monitor how the monthly vs. weekly cadence works over the next months to a year. If you have any questions about the form or how to use it, please email Desiree or Michelle.
The Communications Working Group held our bi-monthly meeting on Monday. Here are relevant updates for all staff:
