Genealogy Roadtrip

In October, Ann Rowland and Paula Schoenlein, CCGS members, traveled to Salt Lake City for access the fabulous Family History Center resources there.  CCGS members over the years have shared valuable Who, What, Where, Why and When information and this year, Ann and Paula along with Jon and Amy had pre-planning meetings at the library prior to traveling.  Paula really appreciated the pre-plan sessions and said her daily library was very productive as a result. Facilitating research road trip is another great CCGS membership perk - share it with our visitors.  Thanks, Marcia

FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

A safety reminder that CCGS Library has 4 fire extinguishers located in both the library and annex.  If you have not already looked, they are wall-mounted by the front library door, next to the bathroom door in the kitchen area, in the front annex area by the light switch and the at rear annex area next to the storage area door.  All extinguishers are Fire Marshall approved with clear instructions for usage in a fire emergency.  Use an extinguisher as soon as possible.  But as we learned from school fire drills; remain calm, alert others to quickly get out and call the Fire Department.  There is also a rear exit in the back of the annex and a posted reminder to keep this exit area clear. 
Thanks for looking.  Marcia

Sales Record Spreadsheet

I believe that I've fixed the automation for the librarian's Sales Record spreadsheet. Here's how it should work.

A blank spreadsheet should be open on the librarian's desk computer each day. It should have a name that includes the current date and that date should be in the required spreadsheet cells.

Spreadsheet operation (entering data, saving, printing, etc.) should be unchanged.

After the library closes, the spreadsheet should be saved and removed from the desktop.

If you see that things aren't working that way, please let me know.
