We had stopped recording the number of books that we sold in the Friends' Book Sale, but Christi Kemprecos (new treasurer) would like us to resume. I have put out the sheets on a clip board at the Circulation Desk. Please put the total money you collect for a sale ($2.00, .50, etc.) under the correct date.
Thank you!

Mass tax forms
Are in. Currently I have put them over on the display shelves after Cape Cod Mystery books. You can point patrons in that direction. We have no Federal forms yet. Once they come in, I may relocate all of them onto the other side of the display area (for more room.)

Staff Manual Forms binder and Signs
Since we have some new staff members, I thought it would be a good opportunity to just review that our Staff Manual Forms three ring binder is (usually) kept at the Circulation Desk on the bottom right shelf of the holds area. In it you can find forms, such as donation forms, repair slips, Southeast routing slips, computer sign in sheets, computer wait list sheet, etc. The goal is to get all forms online, but for now, feel free to use the binder to make copies when you need to replenish a stack.
Also, we do have ready-made laminated signs for various situations, such as "out of order" signs, "maximum check out" signs, etc. over on top of the file cabinet where the cash box is kept.

New Axis app for 2015 Kindles
Hi, Everyone!
I have purchased my own Kindle 2015 version. It does work with the new 360 app for getting library books, but the following steps must be taken:
I have purchased my own Kindle 2015 version. It does work with the new 360 app for getting library books, but the following steps must be taken:
1.) Under settings, Go to Security and select "allow the installation of apps from Unknown Sources"
2.) Directly download the Axis 360 app because it isn't available on the Amazon App Store. The website you want to go to on the Kindle Fire Silk Browser is: apps.axis360.org/axis360 This will start a download of the Axis 360 app that the patron will be able to install once it's finished. It will show up on the notification bar which the patron can get to by placing his or her finger at the top of the screen then swiping down.

A personal and strange request
Hi Everyone!
I realize that this is going to sound a little odd but I am going to ask anyway.
I have been having a respiratory reaction to a cold for the last few weeks that has made breathing a little harder than usual. I also react badly to anything with a strong scent. Could we please stop using the Lysol spray in the bathroom? It has a "Fresh Scent" that sends me into fits of coughing when I breath it in and in the confined space of the bathroom it can be especially hard to breathe.
My lungs and I thank you for your consideration.
cheers,
Zoe

Library Registration Forms
Hello everyone:
I created a hard folder for completed Library registration forms.
This folder is labeled and located underneath the blank registration forms. If there are any forms (filled out) that are not placed in the folder I will assume that these are pending for some reason.
All completed forms within the folder will be double checked for accuracy. This helps to ensure that our patrons records are up-to-date and provides reliable record keeping for the use of our materials.
Thanks for your help!

Interlibrary loans through Comcat
Hello everyone,
As per CLAMS, please do not order Comcat ILLs for patrons. Eileen does not want library staff responsible for patron PIN #s. Also, if I am unaware of the loan and the den_mail address is given (for patrons without computer access), I lose track of the loan. The Comcat system concentrates on patron participation. If the patron does not use Comcat, or is not computer savvy, please provide me with the patron and loan information, and I will order the item through MLS/CLIO.
Thank you!

Axis 360 app
Hello Everyone,
I have put an Axis 360 app help sheet in everyone's mailbox. It is a Baker and Taylor product that is similar to Overdrive and is now available to our patrons. They passed these sheets out at the Reference Meeting yesterday. Feel free to refer to them for your personal use or for patron help.
