This week at the library; or, Week 8 of the pandemic

We expect things to calm down a little this week. I am still working on getting summer reading materials and activity kits prepared, as well as virtual programming. We hit a glitch in making the circulating maker kit collection available for holds, but I think we've resolved that. I also have end of the month reports and numerous small projects to do. The adult services librarian and I did an overhaul of our Facebook - we had ended up with multiple people posting/monitoring it, so we got that more organized and I'm working on planning posts for the rest of May.
