DVD's

Hi guys and gals, I've been thinking of changing dvd's around a little bit and making it like some of the other tasks. I was going to just assign dvd's during a shift instead of telling you exactly when to do them, like the rest of the tasks besides children's. What do you think about this? You should still spend an hour or so each time you're assigned dvd's but you can choose when to do them yourself. Or for those of you working 8 hour days you could split it up doing one hour in the morning and one in the evening or something like that. Also, next week is survey week so please be straightening today as you shelve, or just take a few minutes when you can and straighten wherever you are. Thank You!

One more thing...

Please Please Please pay attention to where you leave your walkie talkies. Cathy has been finding them all over the place and they are always dead. She found one up on the non-fiction shelves this morning, in the 900's. I don't want to have to start doing the check in/out sheet again but I will if I have to. So if this doesn't stop happening soon that's what I'll have to do.

Page Logs

Now that you've all had time to get used to doing your logs, I want to clarify some things. I've noticed some of you are doing great, others need a little more guidance. I'm going to give an example below but before I do, I want to remind/request you add some things to your log. Please add your days off, if they are not your normal days. For example if you have a Saturday off then in a couple of weeks I'm reading your log and you didn't put an entry for that Saturday I probably will not remember that you had that day off because I'm old and feeble minded. I also want to remind you to put your breaks in your log, what time you go on break and what time you come back. Keep count of how many carts you shelve or how many dvd's you clean/shelve. I count a cart to be full top rows on carts. Now... for the example of what to do!


Della's Pretend Page Day!

9:05 (5 minutes late couldn't find parking spot)
9:05-10:00 router 2nd floor

Della's Pretend Page Day 2!

5:00-7:00 Children's
7:00-7:15 break
7:15-8:00 dumped circ, put 1 fiction cart in order
8:00-8:30 shelved half the fiction cart
8:30-9:00 recovery (put rest of the fiction cart back along the wall outside sorting room)

These are examples, some of you are already doing this and more which is great! Some I'm not sure I was clear to when I spoke to you. Basically I want you to record everything and I want to know how long it took you to do it. When this is over I'll make all of you some goodies. Sarah I'll even try to make non-gluten stuff for you.. or maybe I'll bring you fruit :)

Also, some of you have told me you want to work club lib, so far I have Camila, Ryan, Josh, and Kim. If you want to work club lib and you haven't told me yet please do so this week. Now I need coffee... so in my log I would put break 10:34-10:49 and hope starbucks isn't busy :)
