Our new Circulation Supervisor decided that our students need a time at the beginning of the spring semester to catch up with all the changes and to straighten out any confusion about procedures. Good idea. We do this kind of event at the beginning of the fall semester to remind everyone about details that get fuzzy over the summer. Since we have been at loose ends this fall, it makes sense for her to get everyone on the same page.
She plans for a Sunday afternoon right before the library opens. The turnout is reasonable. We get the opportunity to meet the new hires and learn something about them. I suspect my presence is a bit off-putting, but I don't mean to be. I just know that our new supervisor may not know all the answers just yet. Soon I am sure she will be up to speed, but I don't want to abandon her too soon.
We have a good time of interaction and cover a lot of territory about little pieces that happen at the desk, the ones which tend to go astray and drive us all crazy. I hear a lot of "ohh's' and 'ah-ha's' and I am hopeful that perhaps some of the frustrating little glitches will clear up soon. Finally we break for pizza just in time for the Staff Assistants to begin the opening process. Good meeting. And now, I head home, happy to be done for the day. Sugar awaits.
