We're WiFi'ed!
The installation is done and staff training is under way. Very soon now we will be advertising that our WiFi is available for public use. Goodbye cables, hello wireless capability! Customers will be able to bring in their WiFi enabled devices, and once they have completed their one-off registration, will be off and surfing (the Web of course).
In time for the school holidays, this system will be up-and-running and established for the start of the New Year.

Art moderation...
I can't miss this as an entry! A couple of weeks ago we had the Seaford student's art on display in the library and again it did not disappoint. There were great works on display with a wide range of styles and forms. The work was on display for an extended time which provided a great opportunity for all library users to have a look. A great display that received lots of positive comment.

It must be the 'silly season'...
We're well into Term 4, and believe it or not, Christmas is in sight!...and things are getting just a little silly. Nothing to be really worried about but as we head out of the cold winter season (with no rain) and in to the spring (with no rain), there seems to be a marked increase in the occurrence of 'weird' things (strange requests, unusual complaints, weird smells, off-the-wall behaviour, etc). The forecast ahead (hotter weather with no rain) doesn't instil any confidence either. Maybe it's the lack of water (note to myself: check to see that we have water available for our customers!). Let's hope the sunny weather ahead cheers us all up and dissipates the weirdness.

Is it just me... or are things just BIGGER!
The last week of term 3 and things are just as hectic. I can just imagine the stats will be good (read: we've been bloody busy!). On the up side, time at work has gone really fast (and on the down side there isn't time to get anything else done). We'll now have 2 weeks where there will be time to catch up on things and for the lucky ones to have some annual leave. Then it will be busy again leading up to exams and a slow down to Christmas (yes, time to brush up on those carols). We've also delivered and collected the teacher/student surveys, so it will be very interesting to find out how we're rated on our service delivery (and anything else they may wish to comment on). A time for library staff to rest and recover before we start term 4!
