This week at the library; or, Week 13 of the pandemic

This was my office area when I went in on Saturday
to prep for the next week

Appropriately, we are doing a soft re-open of the library on week 13. We are also resuming full delivery and holds (excepting inter-library loan services outside the consortium). Staff are, for now, still divided into two teams and since we postponed our opening it no longer fell on my team's week. I am ok with that. I worked from home this week, going in Saturday afternoon to prep for next week, and here's some of the stuff I did.

• Projects
• Teen history board for Pinterest - I'll be pulling from this for FB posts https://www.pinterest.com/elkhornlibrary/teen-reads-us-history/
• Finished sorting and processing all the donations
• Next phase of weeding project - orders for replacements with Friends donation money
• Finished reviewing the lost and missing lists
• Completed the July-August early literacy activity calendars
• Completed the July-August STEAM activity calendars
• Facebook posts for activity calendars completed through August!
• Drafted out Storytime Bundles for the summer (not all are completely updated)
• Drafted out activity kits for the summer - still have to write accompanying handouts and instructions for packing
• Drafted plan for resuming programs in fall, with input from youth services staff and patrons.
• Meetings (not counting the ones I forgot to attend. Oops... they were on a different day than usual!)
• Management meetings to discuss opening and other current issues
• Youth services check-in

Materials ready for next week's distribution

It may not LOOK cleaner, but it is... kinda
