Hi Everyone,
Summer Reading Update
Hey folks!
It's been so busy around here - I haven't had time for the update!
You folks have been doing FANTASTIC on the Summer Reading Program registrations - it's very exciting!!!
Here are the totals!
PRE-READERS
Rawlings 373
Barkman 114
Lamb 113
Pueblo West
Notices
We now know a couple of reasons why people do not get their hold notices thanks to some great detective work by Abby, and your willingness to submit tickets about the problem.
Century Link customers tend not to receive the calls. Our logs showed we called, but they don't get the message.
A Connection to Vietnam
My trip to Vietnam this last March was inspired by the late Patrick Lucero, a nineteen year old soldier who died in Viet Nam in 1967. Later this year the East Side library in Pueblo will be named after him. I will be the manager there. Shortly after Patrick’s name was being considered for the library I found out another library built in Ba Long Commune in Quang Tri province had been named for Patrick and opened on September 11, 2010. I found this out through a chance meeting and association with a Seattle based organization, PeaceTrees Vietnam, whose mission is of peace and compassion.
Drumroll please....
First of all - I need to share that I entered the wrong info last week. I said we had over 6,000 kids registered for Summer Reading last year - and I was wrong. I had inadvertently added another figure to our total to get that number.
Potica, Pints, and Prayers in Old Bojon Town
Thanks Jen, for the update: The Eiler Heights Neighborhood Story/Movie Premiere and Public Meeting was a giant success!
Finance Tip of the Week - Driving for PCCLD
If you ever need to drive the Mazda passenger van or any of the PCCLD vehicles, you need to have a current DMV report on file to get your name on the Driver's List. To find out if you're on the list already, contact Katie Hunt in Finance.
When the Gates Go Off
I'd like to ask the help of all the staff. If you happen to be by the gates when they go off, please, ask the person to go to the front desk.

Come try out the new furniture!
Have you recently walked past Outreach and wondered if we are redecorating the office?!! The new furniture you may have noticed includes items that we will be purchasing for the new libraries.
