Salutations!
Today's Topic: Let's play "Find that Patron!!"
With the rising costs of Hoopla and long hold lists on Libby, it is more imporant than ever to always, always, check carefully for duplicate patrons whenever issuing a new card.
Complicating matters, it was determined at an ALL-WALS meeting that all WALS libraries would enter patron names "as written" (except in ALL-CAPS) on their ID or application form. This means that VanderZanden gets entered as "VANDERZANDEN" and "Van der Zanden" gets entered as "VAN DER ZANDEN." This means last names won't sort together anymore. You need to search by Phone, Street, and Birthdate. Read More...

We've now completed 8 READ posters. Two more photo sessions are scheduled for the next week and I have sent letters to the final 6 legislators and will be setting up appointments in the next couple of weeks. So far only one legislator has been reluctant and has asked to be put off until after the budget is finished. The final photo, for the 20th Senate District, will have to wait a few months as that district is vacant until the spring elections.
