Library computers

Thanks for your patience re. the librarian's computer. First it got sick, then my car got sick, then I got sick. I decided that an operating system upgrade (for the computer) was needed. It should be done by week's end.

We also had a problem with #2 computer (south wall.) The disk is full and I'm not sure why, I recovered enough space for now, but will need to delete more files to give us some room. That computer is pretty important since it runs the Readerware server. It also has the smallest hard disk.

A general rule is to never leave anything on a CCGS computer that you can't afford to lose. Keep a backup on your own device (USB drive, cloud account, etc.)

Book Repairs

Book Repair Accumulation - In the back storage area there are several boxes and open shelves holding books labeled as needing repair, some are dated from 2015.  During our recent Library Inventory, the team identified additional books in various stages of disrepair.  Over time, much repair work has accumulated.  At last week's Book Repair Workshop, our book repair specialist, Linda Dawson guided the group to identify and repair 8 books, but many more books await repair!  The workshop was not only great fun but we were able to return some books to the shelves.  CCGS has book repair guidelines set up through the Library Committee, in that some damaged books could be easily replaced rather than repaired.  Our Books Need Help!.  Let Linda Dawson know, if you are a Librarian with book repair knowledge or an interest in learning to repair books.  Marcia

A Librarian Project

Library Director Authorization   Lethene authorized Barbara Schrag and me to inventory the Librarian desk drawers, the bookshelf, the filing cabinet drawers and the Wall Media Shelf behind the desk.  We had a fun day looking at stuff and making our invetory lists.  We will have much to share with you all.  If anyone else sees something in the Library needing attention - Lethene asks that you check with her before you undertake the task.  Marcia
