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.

RPL is working towards being certified as a Sensory Inclusive institution with KultureCity. KultureCity’s Sensory Inclusive program is designed to help guests with sensory needs like PTSD, autism, dementia, and strokes, just to name a few, feel welcomed.
Combining training by professionals, sensory bags, and signage, the a Sensory Inclusive institution creates a space where all guests are accepted and included. Let’s create the best guest experience for those with sensory needs, ensuring that everyone can attend and have fun.

Staff Contacts on RPL website
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.
Meet Pepper!
After 40 years of public service, Chumley has graciously and deservedly retired to Florida.
