Science Week

Just for your info, it is National Science Week beginning 16 Aug, so we are doing a competition again for the school kids to win a plasma ball.

This year there is one simple question they have to answer, but it requires them to use their imagination. At the end of the week the winner will be drawn randomly out of the box. If the winning entry has written an inappropriate response to the question, that person will not win the prize and we will redraw.

This is set up on the school side. Please turn on the plasma ball at the beginning of each day next week and turn it off when school finishes each day. If it is getting too hot at any point please turn it off for a rest. Karla

Coco mug display

Clues to the 891 ABC Adelaide #GoldCoco Challenge are on display in the library.
Customers are collecting Matt and Dave's audio, visual and verbal clues on 891’s on air, online and social media channels (twitter and facebook) to piece together where the #GoldCoco mug is hiding each week. Please support them finding clues in the library display.

shelving helper

I have created a visual guide to help volunteers (in particular) with reshelving and knowing where different collections live in the library. This is something that new casual staff or casuals who are not here often may find useful too.

It is hanging from the end of the trolley in the check-in room and can be taken off of the hook if a volunteer wants to take it with them as they reshelve etc.

If you get a chance, take a look at it so you know what the volunteers have available to them. Karla

movies

Just letting you all know that we are in the process of changing the spine labels for the DVD's, I have started the Movies so any that come back in with the old spine label need to be put into ON-REPAIR-SF and placed in the veggie trolley in the check-in room.
The changes will be:
DVD 791.43 will become MOVIES
DVD 791.45 will become TV
CDVD will become Children's
All the Non-Fiction DVD's will also be changed to different subjects eg: Transport, Lifestyle, House and garden
Any questions pls ask your Collections Team

games

I have put some new board games out to be used in the library. They are on the games shelf near the school doors. Please note that these are not on the catalogue and therefore not tagged, so they must stay in the library please. Karla

photocopier

The new photocopier has been installed and is operational. Please ensure that you have received instruction on how to use it. Albert

Scanning is now available to USB, let me know if you need training – you don’t need to wand a library card to do this. Nathan

charge kiosk

We have now installed the Monitor charge kiosk.
Have a look at the info regarding the new way of adding credit to cards, the instructions are laminated and in the pod, Monitor is on Only2clicks. Nathan

Please do not turn the Monitor Kiosk off at the power point before shutting it down – just quickly press the power button located on  the bottom right hand side of the screen near the scanner and Windows will commence the shutdown, if any apps pop-up as still running, touch “quit anyway”. Nathan
