Thanks, Sirsi Tips, Holston IT, ALL, and HRH Princess Allie

THANKS!

A big thank you to all our staff for all your hard work, patience, and perseverance during our transition. You've handled some very difficult situations with grace and managed to keep smiling.  Thank you.  It has been noticed and is appreciated.

 Sirsi Tips

• First of all, the log-in on our website (www.bristol-library.org) now does go to Sirsi instead of Sierra.  YAY!!
• If you are trying to search for Large Print books, put in "Large Type" as a search term.  "Large Type" is used in the subject headings while "Large Print" is not.  This will make life much easier
• IT Troubles: most of you know that there is a desktop icon to report problems to Holston IT.  When you fill out a request, please include an email or cell phone number.  The form doesn't ask for it, but Andy says it will really speed up response time, especially on the weekends.

Thanks, Debbie!

As has become tradition, Debbie brought US the cake on HER birthday!  Belated thanks and happy birthday wishes to her.

"Let them eat kibble." Her Royal Highness, Princess Allie

Hobo Soup

On Monday as we do our training, we thought it might be fun to revive a Janice treat:  Hobo Soup! Everyone brings a can of something that would be good in soup-- tomatoes, carrots, beans, potatoes, whatever-- and we mix it all up in a big pot. So bring in a can of something for soup and we'll see what happens!

 

Blackbird Bakery Celebrates!
