Montrose Meeting Notes 3/2/17


 
Here’s a re-cap of the what we went over on Thursday’s meeting:


·          Online library card registration is coming sometime in March.  There will be a paperless pilot program at CEN and JUN to get things started, but it is possible a customer might find the form online and come to our location to get the card . (LH)

·         ACR, DIX, JOH, JUN, MAN & YOU will start lending out mobile hotspots sometime in March.  Each location is supposed to get 25 devices, and customers will have to fill out a special form to check out the device.  Devices must be returned to the location where they were checked out. (LH)

·         We have a new language learning database called Pronunciator.  Marianne Loria sent an email about a training for it with a link.  You will get .5 hour training credit.  Alex has printed the course sign-up sheet, so be sure to sign it; then it will be sent in to HPL training when everyone finished.   http://houstonlibrary.org/research/resources-by-category/256

·         The wellness deadline for full-timers is March 10th.  If you don’t yet have 100% completion, your only options are to complete the onsite classes, telephone coaching, or online app tracking.  Here’s a link to check your status https://my.cigna.com/web/public/guest  (LH)

·         The mileage rate is now 53.5 cents/mile.

·         National Library Workers Day is Tuesday, April 11.  Each branch will get $50 to celebrate with something. (probably food!)

·         Please remember to check out items to the repair shelf. Check the item out to MNT-REPAIR. Also, fill out a processing slip.
