We have not had enough staff to accomplish it. We have the same standards as the rest of FLP's branches as far as staffing is concerned.mjeannephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10780911669730703598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-508615687693982927.post-72327155940042897812014-01-06T13:08:29.489-08:002014-01-06T13:08:29.489-08:00If closing due to lack of staff is "no longer...If closing due to lack of staff is "no longer an option." What is the smallest number of staff that has been present so far while a library has been open? Or are there enough people in the cluster to move around, so everyone has at least four people during the day?AllenMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12294487195987848430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-508615687693982927.post-19203158825096073142014-01-03T13:11:15.464-08:002014-01-03T13:11:15.464-08:00This suggestion came from Janet Puchino via email....This suggestion came from Janet Puchino via email.<br /><br />Hello to the NPNLCL!<br /> <br />You guys in the north are movin’ & shakin’! No wonder the north won the civil war. I haven’t finished reading the entire blog but the buy in by branch personnel and their input is impressive. Great job!!<br /> <br />One entry mentioned a “Tell your Story” program or series as a possible offering to the community. When at SAN, we reached out to the South Philadelphia Older Adult Center (mainly because one of SPOAC’s services is to bus groups to a location) and asked who had lived in the community for decades and wanted to tell a personal story of changes in South Philly that have come about during their lifetime, stories of change that their parents may have relayed, etc. Each participant was taped telling their “story” and saved to a travel drive and given to each participant. We learned a lot about the neighborhood we served and made the seniors feel special.<br /> <br />Just one way to put meat on the bones of this wonderful program/series suggestion.<br /> mjeannephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10780911669730703598noreply@blogger.com
