The second meeting

We met again in mid-July and just started to bounce ideas around the room.  Here is a rough list, in no particular order, of some of the things that were suggested.

• Branches would have intensive family literacy programs
• Family programming on Saturdays 
• Have a common "cluster-wide" system for reporting statistics
• Design a bookmark, or half-page handout with the locations of the cluster on one side and a SEPTA route map on the other side.
• Have full-time Digital Resource Specialists for the two computer labs in order to allow library staff more free time for programs and outreach
• Have seasoned outreach personnel
• Branches will closely evaluate which schools in the service area have been closed, and how that effects other schools, the branches and charter schools
• How should we serve students who attend the cyber charter schools

At the end of the meeting it was decided that the cluster would, henceforth, be known as: North Philadelphia Neighborhood Libraries.
