We get the World Today series published by Stryker-Post in adult
reference and I circulate the year-old edition of the Africa
volume in juvenile. I also circulate the year-old Statesman's
yearbook for the same purpose.

Hi--At our library, the Library Friends group provides the "meat"
of the
party, and then the different departments are assigned the extras:
drink,
and desserts. The party starts at 11:45 a.m., and people who are not
scheduled to work are encouraged come in early, on their own time. The
library is open at this time, and so staff attends in shifts.

Subject: RE: Holiday Party Survey
I would like to know how your library handles staff holiday parties around
Hannukah and Christmas. I've heard various methods that library boards
use
during the holiday season to show their support of their staff. I would like
to know what your library does for your staff. EX: Do they pay
for a
party?
Do they close so staff could give their own party? Do they pay
the staff
for the closed time in appreciation?, etc.
My library a number of years ago would close half day for the staff.
Staff
paid for their own party but the library paid full time salary people but
part timers did not get paid for the time. Now the library does not
give
the
staff anything. The staff takes turns planning the party which is held
after
hours and they pay for it themselves.
What does your library do? Thanks
Carolyn

Our staff association sponsors a Christmas party for staff, retirees, and =
board members. Spouses are invited. Sometimes it's a Sat. night dinner, =
other times a weekday breakfast. We try to alternate. The party committee =
members do the preparations on work time, but the party itself is not on =
work time. Service awards (pins, tie tacs) (5, 10, 15, etc. years) are =
given at this party. The Friends also gives a gift to each recipient.
The =
last few years the gift has been a nice soft throw with the library's name =
on it.=20
The staff association provides a line in the budget for the party (for =
decorations, program, etc.), and sometimes part of the meal is covered, =
but we pay the difference. This year for instance, we had a breakfast
at =
MCL at 7 a.m. The cost was $5. Table decorations were small Christmas
=
trees that were given as door prizes at the end. For the program I told a =
story about two little red socks whose Christmas wishes came true, and =
then a woman who runs a center for kids spoke about the programs and =
services (food, clothing, homework, etc.) her center offers. Everyone who =
attended the party was asked to bring a package of new underwear or socks =
for the kids at the center.
Our parties used to be real elaborate, with lots of door prizes, etc. but =
a few years ago we simplified everything because people were burning out =
on all the work (not to mention the expense).=20

Hello great brain!
I'm beginning to put together several pathfinders for my IS department so
that we won't be inventing the wheel each year. I decided to start
with two

I'm including what I have already done for the second pathfinder, so y'all
can see what I've already put together. Anything and EVERYTHING for
the
first would be outstanding. I'll make sure to post a hit as soon as I
have
compiled everything. Here's what I have so far, but if you can think

Hi everyone--
Here's a chance to practice your booktalking skills--on me! I had a
reading teacher ask that I compile a list of "must reads" for 3rd
and 4th
graders. I have started a list, but would love to hear YOUR favorite
book.
Send me the title, author and a brief booktalk. ;) I'll
post the list
once it's done.
Thanks!
:) ruhama
