Notes

• This week ended with our Book and Bake sale. The Friends were going to have a try at running it themselves this year, without help from the staff. I also hosted a youth services meeting, although we had no attendees so made it a YS staff meeting, and we had a managers' meeting.
• The week ended with some mild excitement as a leak developed above my desk Friday evening and there was a heavy fall of snow Saturday morning. Thankfully, my wonderful colleagues took care of it Saturday morning so I didn't have to work another Saturday! Next week is Spring Break, but with all the things going on this week, we realized that we have stretched ourselves too thin. I cancelled some events out through May and did a closer review of the summer schedule.
• I finished going through all the missing/lost lists, which I'll do again in August and then in December, did a lot of work on the strategic plan data/survey, and lots of scheduling specifically for field trips.
• Our picture today is a good example of the importance of having different programs for different audiences. These two don't come in for the regular storytime on Tuesday and Thursday but this smaller, quieter group, which is able to do more hands-on activities is just their speed!
