A Day in the Life...

I found out about the Library Day in the Life project from a blog that I read. I thought I'd try it out, so here goes, more or less in order:

July 31, 2009

1. Sent out the compiled strategic planning objectives our leadership team came up with earlier in the week. We're finalizing them for our first service response. Two more to go!
2. Read a little more in Strategic Planning for Results to make sure we're on track for our next step: Developing Organizational Competencies. This begins in September.
3. Talked to one of our reference librarians about the job seeker programming he's been working on. Found out we just got a copy of ALA's Crisis in Employment report. He was done with it, so he passed it on to me. We also talked about two new search engines I learned about this week: Collecta and Guzzle.it
4. Talked to our business office about some work that's been done recently on our "chiller" unit. Had some invoices to reconcile.
5. Sent e-mails. Cleaned up Inbox.
6. Started reading feeds, which reminded me of Library Day in the Life!
7. Got some information for a patron about a playhouse in our children's area.
8. Lunch
9. Shared a few interesting articles via Google Reader.
10. Received new signs for DVD and hold pick-ups. Worked with Circ department head on placement.
11. Checked on staff working the community art show that wrapped up our "Be Creative @ Your Library" summer reading program.
12. Set up various meetings for August: policy discussion on mobile devices in our children's area, dept heads whose supervisor is on leave, summer reading wrap up.
13. That's it for me! Have a great weekend!
