Remember, when an adult asks for their computer to be unblocked, it is there RIGHT to request this. It does not mean they are viewing pornography. They could be researching a paper on witchcraft or ladies undergarments, which are legitimate AND legal sites.
Remember, we do not judge!
If you have a concern about this, please come and talk to me.

Filter Passwords
The filters have been live for more than a day! The public and circ names and passwords are at the circ desk in the unmarked drawer of the black box next to the phone. The passwords for the public computers will be changed periodically and you'll be notified when it does.
WINTER DONATION/STAFF GRAB BAG
It has been suggested that in lieu of or in addition to the staff grab bag this year, some would like to take up a collection for CPS Jungman Elementary School in Chicago. We will be passing around an envelope for donations. Be sure to check off your name so we know you have seen the envelope. The envelope must be returned to Patti by Friday, December 5th. We will be purchasing winter clothes and school supplies with the donations.
If you would still like to participate in the traditional staff grab bag, there will be a container in the staff kitchen. The deadline to submit your name is December 3rd. Names will be pulled that day.

THINGS ARE CHANGING!
Hi Everyone,
We have continued to shift collections and re-adjusted the Help Desk and moved some of the spinners from in front of the new book area to the paperback areas… all these changes have really opened up the space. Please listen for comments and let me know what you hear from patrons and what you think, too!
Tim and Dennis continue the wiring project and will be connecting us on Tuesday, while we are closed to the public.
Thanks to all staff who helped us rearrange, reorganize, move tables and chairs, etc. Note that all desk top areas that have fliers, bookmarks, etc. sitting on the counters, must have them placed into upright holders to eliminate some of the desk clutter. Please let Jody Studer know if we need additional holders.
We will be adding additional signage and moving the catalogs, as well. More on that soon. Lots of great changes coming!
