Big thank you for all of you helping each other and particulary me this week.
Postpartum depression can really take a well-functioning individual down. Medicine will take about two weeks to get into her system to help her with the anxiety and doubts. She will only be on it a week Thursday. But the side affects are anxiety and shakiness. She is doing well taking care of Isabella but she has to force herself to stay calm to do it. Keeping a train of thought is hard, making a decision is hard and she thinks she isn't doing anything right.
Thanks again - Iam so lucky to have all of you as great support system so that I can offer up a support system for Joel and Val. JB

Steampunk-Gaslight Books
A new term for me too! Apparently, they refer to science fiction/fantasy type books. Perhaps The Golden Compass or Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea would be good suggestions. Goodreads.com had a list of suggestions as well. PH

Patron attitude problems
As far as this particular patron, I have had her express great displeasure in the past, when she did not feel responsibility for her actions. It was quite a while back, when she returned a boat load of items late, and she got really huffy about it. It was just after I started on at the circulation desk, so I don't remember much about the particulars. My recollection is that she demanded she not be charged, because she had to go to a funeral. Seems like we just let it be, and she eventually paid up.
Anyhow, seems like we will just have to be vigilant for a while like Joan said. As a sometimes possessor of bad moods, they do pass after a while. It is hard to know where someone is coming from. DCF

Questions and Responses
CBR Team said...

My E-mail response to the consumer with the following question:
"Is it possible to register for a library card online. I am having difficulty getting into the library when open due to my crazy work schedule."
Then following is my response via E-mail - a face-to-face response may be a bit different. Along with the library card form going in the mail so did a book mark with our hours. For this particular patron this is the best we can do.
At this time it is not possible - the best I can do is drop a form in the mail for you but you would still need to stop in because we require a proof of I.D. to issue a library card. If your driver's license does not have your current address on it a piece of mail or a bill addressed to the Blue Spruce Lane address can be used as proof that you live there. I will put it in the mail on Saturday. Thank you in advance for signing up for a library card.

Also, I could have suggested going to another library in SCLS that have more evening hours or Sunday hours but reminding her that correct I.D. is extremely important and she would not get her card immediately because the application form would need to be sent back here and then a card would be issued and could be mailed to her. What it comes down to is no one defined answer necessarily fits all situations.

Technical information
Since we now have some room for organizing, I am starting to put techie type material in the blue magazine holder titled "Technical Info Hints and Tips." There are print outs of miscellaneous. info that I put in there the first day we rearranged.
The newest folder is all of the Wireless Server information. As I add things, I will try and remember to add them to the blog. Everyone seems to want info on paper, so we'll see if this works.

May Staff Meeting Agenda and Info.
A tentative date was set aside for a Monday, May 24th staff meeting that was going to be a discussion of KOHA, grant fulfillment, other updates for Sue, plus whatever else you want listed on the agenda. But that is the week that the elementary classes are scheduled to start visiting. If no classes schedule into the Monday morning time slots we will procede with a staff meeting from 9:15 until 11:00A.M. Watch for more information. JB
