Picnic pictures, temporary moves, and new updates.
Thanks to everyone who came out and participated in the picnic last week. Special thanks to the members of the Library Employee Association (LEA) who helped make it possible: Co-chairs Rachel Lilley and Kelly Stormking, Debbie Du Tell, Diana Park, and David Manela.
Check-in has temporarily moved from the 2nd floor to the 3rd floor annex during the repair work in the circulation area.
Library administration has introduced a new system for submitting information for job postings. If you have a job that’s ready to post, then you can use this fillable survey to communicate the information over to Library administration. This takes the place of the Action Request Form.
The library has its own course on Bridge for new employees who need to know how to request travel and seek reimbursement after their travel has been completed. Just navigate over to your Learning Library and scroll down until you find the “Library New Staff Training—Travel.” It’s as easy as that.

Can you guess whose pet this is?
This is Marc the kitten. He enjoys attacking toes, playing kitchen soccer, and meowing with his mouth full. Last week’s cat is the brother of Peeps, and also a good friend of Abigail Mason.
