Power Outage, Gift Coupons, and staff & patron news!

 As you may have noticed, the power outage last Friday caused some problems with our electronic equipment.   In case of a future power outage, please follow this procedure:

In order to verify the proper re-start of equipment and alarms after a power outage, please observe the following:

 

Power outage during business hours: 

• Call Christian at his cell phone if he is not here; leave a voicemail if he doesn’t pick up to let him know of the power outage and the approximate time it started

If after 15 minutes the power has not come back on, 

• please call Christian’s cell again to let him know. Though the servers are set to auto-restart when the power is restored, this is not always what happens; 
•    If Joyce is not in the building, please call her cell phone to let her know.

 

Power outages after business hours: 

• If power outage is noticed by a staff member or cleaning crew, said personnel should inform either Christian or Joyce at their cell phones.

Print this out and keep it handy if need be.

Over the weekend, a young patron came in with a coupon for a gift at the library.  Just in case you didn't hear, these coupons are for the very nice chapstick & holder!  These are kept at circulation.

People News

Welcome to Sarah Hutchinson, our new Marketing Director!  You may have seen Sarah helping Kathryn during the Dorothea Benton Frank event. We're glad to have you, Sarah! (By the way, I live near the OTHER Sara Hutchinson from King! Her parents said you'd know who that is.)

Jerry Ivey reports that Dr. Bill is on the road to recovery. He's been in and out of the hospital and rehab since we saw him at Christmas, but is doing much better now.   They plan to visit the library as soon as they can.

Crowe Baby (aka Janice Crowe) came to the library recently. She is enjoying life and looking forward to doing a lot of gardening!

From Christine McKenzie:  "It's a boy!  That's right, we're having a boy - Aidan Nathaniel is due to arrive sometime around September 28!"  Congratulations, Christine, Calvin & Moira!

And speaking of baby boys....
