We've finally merged after weeks of anticipation, preparation and perspiration. Wear your deodorant, people,'cause we're in close quarters now!
Hats off to all you relocated staff members for adapting so well to your new surroundings. Your cheese has not only been moved, it's been EATEN!
The Periodicals/Book Discussion "nook" gets the newly-created "Make-do with Doo-Doo" award for the most creative use of space. They're the only employees who can put their feet up on the wall in front of them while leaning back against the wall behind them. Virginia can even simultaneously touch a side wall with her hand. She could be an extra in the next Spiderman movie.
The new Fiction, Movies and Music Department is a hit! Patrons like having the AV and Fiction items together in the same area. They also like the convenience of having both Fiction and Audio-visual staff at the same desk. One stop shopping!
Things are shaping up in the Reference area as well. Patrons find the periodical section easy to navigate and like the accessibility of back issues of both magazines and newspapers.
Many frequenters of the former AV department are awakening to the fact that there were actually non-fiction DVDs in that room as well. Browsing in the new location has been brisk,and the librarians enjoy being able to incorporate the DVDs into their resource recommendations.
As for the Audio-Visual Department, it doesn't get any better than this. Talk about multi-tasking! They have been clocked at record speed checking in dropboxes, assisting at the copy machine, checking people out, demonstrating Express Checkout, mooning Lauren in her window, and scraping formula off Baby Einstein DVDs.
The Circulation Department is beginning to reap the benefits of the Express Checkout(a daily record of 383 checkouts recently). We'll eventually be able to rid ourselves of the pleasant and responsible, allowing us plenty of time for the demanding and delinquent!
