Just two words...BOOK WEEK!
Yes, the culmination of the last two weeks was the delivery of Book Week at Seaford library (and the author visit made our task that much easier). It's a testament to the resilience of staff that we were able to function at all with the number of staff diminishing over the last two weeks (predominately due to illness). But those of us left did the Codral thing ('soldiered on') and still managed to 'get things done!'
It's hard to believe that we have completed (school) weeks 4 and 5, but here we are - beyond the half-way mark. But it's no time to sit on our hands as the 'busy' part of the school year is almost upon us. So, with the onset of Spring and the promise of nice sunny days ahead, we are gearing-up! ...and ready to start peddling faster?

...more display upgrades!
...but before you start thinking that we are soooooo superficial (style before substance), let me assure you that it is all part of the plan. All our services are good (some would say great but we wouldn't want to get ahead of ourselves) and we see nothing wrong with 'looking good'!
Nathan's doing agreat job in clearing out damaged/unwanted a/v equipment, Angela and the team are 'massaging' the collection, everyones pitching in with ideas and actions on the CKI room and circ desk...and it's all coming together just fine.
Week 2 of school has brought with it further work demands as students and teachers gear-up to meet the work end of the year. We are meeting the challenge and planning the implementation of further support strategies (eg Online Tutoring, Homework help, etc).
...and the number of people commenting (positively) about the genre groupings - we're on the right track!
