The library has been very busy during the last two weeks.
The good news is that Julie is back on the force, thank goodness.
Marian's last day was Wednesday, as she has now retired after 20 years of dedicated service in the library. The dinner that was held in Marian's honour attracted 60 people and was a wonderful evening where some terrific speeches were given. We wish her all the best for her retirement, and Marian will certainly be missed by all. (Marian has left some mighty shoes to fill).
During the last few months, Marian has been going through the video collection and adding them to Unicorn system, as well as discarding any out dated videos. This is a long and time consuming project and is still ongoing.
Kerrie is still keeping up with relocating the fiction to a more visible and easily accessible area. This has already drawn more students to the area. The non-fiction is slowly being moved along the shelves to replace the fiction section. The magazines are also located in this area. We are still waiting for the new tables and some new shelving units to arrive.
Kerrie is going on leave for five weeks as from Monday 25 May until 29 June. Janine Hannah will be filling in for her during this time. Janine was previously from Caroline Chisholm College.
The number of senior students using the library during study time has increased slightly, with numbers sometimes reaching approx 30 - 35 per lesson.
There is still a constant stream of new books coming through the library, with many still waiting to be covered. We are fortunate enough to still have Robyn volunteering 1 day per week to cover books for us. This is such a great help.
I have also created a flickr site with some images of the library if you wish to visit the site : www.flickr.com/photos/bpclibrary
Until next time.
