Tuesday, July 28
This is a pretty usual morning at home. 7:00 a.m. check email. Do this every work morning. Really don't like surprises when I get to work at 9. I'm a 9:00 a.m. starter almost every day. It really helps my day to have morning time at home
9:00 a.m. at work, meeting about future library locations. Very intense, lots of opinions. Lots of involvement from other County staff and departments--which is good, but everyone has their own turf they are working. Interesting. This has been a long-term challenge.
10:15 - 11:30 a.m. catchup on email, work on schedules, print out all up-to-date staffing info I can find to submit work to County admin by Thursday and prep for manager meeting on Monday.
11:30 a.m. fun Overdrive marketing demo. Very professional. This company seems to have it together. We'll be launching soon. So, so far, so good. And the library staff working on this are doing a great job!
12:00 - 1:00 p.m. lunch at desk, catch up on email, work on shared staffing and Sunday schedules.
1:00 p.m. Library director and I meet with Exec. Director Public Communications. Good, friendly catch-up meeting. This is someone it is really good for us to work well with. Discuss central phone service (all good), courier, marketing, social networking. AOK, he's a very nice man.
2:00 - 4:00 p.m. Where to go with One Book? How to re-energize. Spend 2 hours brainstorming with Library Director and Outreach Coordinator. We really want to get this back on track and FUN! So much potential there. What a treat to have brainstorming time!
4:00 - 5:30 p.m. work, work, work. Get schedules done and sent out. Talk to liaison on Interlibrary Loan transition project. Yoiks, but I think we understand next steps. Communicate with IT coordinator about Flash upgrade. Spend a few blissful minutes in What do I Read next looking for books on community building. A theme we discussed for One book.
5:30 p.m. out early for me.
6:00 p.m. it's all about baseball. Heading to St. Pete for Tampa Rays/Yankees Game. My team won (that be the Rays...Yeah!)

Andy,
I know what you mean about how everyone has their own opinion about where the next library should be built! One effective technique to inject some rationality into an otherwise emotional process is to conduct GIS mapping that shows where all a given branch's users are coming from. Looking at the information in this visual, easy-to-understand way really shows those areas that are truly underserved. Best of luck!
