MEMBER LIBRARY WEEKLY BULLETIN

No. 03-07                                                                                                                                           February 14, 2003

Reminder…FLLS will be closed on Monday, February 17th. There will be no deliveries for February 17.

I have two books without any indication of ownership. They appear to be from the same library, but I do not recognize the handwriting. There is also no property stamp on the books. The titles are:

“Sun & moon signs” by Julia Derek Parker
“Chasing the dream: my lifelong journey to the World Series” by Joe Torre.

With over 50,000 books, cards, and forms to process each year, the problem of not being able to identify unmarked materials sent in continues to take up unnecessary time. Please make sure all your cards and forms include your library key; also please use a property label or stamp each item so that we can identify ownership.

Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated.

Spencer Library has a new email address. Please use splibrary@htva.net

Just a reminder that the next FALCON meeting is on Thursday, Feb. 20, 2003 at 9:00AM at TCPL in the Borg Warner Room. We may be voting on an issue that involves all the Dynix libraries, so please plan on attending. There is still a little time left to send in your notification listing a representative other than the library director, please email me back indicating the name of your alternate delegate at rhelwig@flls.org. Remember, you must be present to cast a vote according to the Bylaws of the FALCON organization. An agenda of the meeting was sent out on Thursday, February 13, 2003 by Fax.

Summer Reading ~ Janway Order
Is that Janway order sitting in a pile on your desk? If you’d like to be included in the group order from FLLS, please return it to me ASAP ~ the deadline is today! You may e-mail me your order if you like. Please give me a call (x. 27) if you’d like to be included but get it in by the end of today.

Summer Reading ~ King Graphics Order
Yesterday, I got the word that King Graphics will be offering summer reading magnets and buttons this year. There will be text on both the magnet and the button. It’s placement has not yet been determined.
They both cost around $.26 each. Please look in the delivery for order forms and more information.

YSS 2003 Conference
The Youth Services Section of NYLA is sponsoring their spring conference in Hauppage, NY on Friday, April 4, 2003. This year’s theme is “Growing Great Librarians.” You should be receiving a flier with registration info through the delivery. (Please let me know if you haven’t received it yet.) This was a great conference last year, and promises to be good again with sessions on becoming a book reviewer, the world wide web, cooking programs and crafts for summer reading.

Sadly, as per the “Notice of FLLS Budget and Service Reductions” memo you received earlier this week, there is no Continuing Education Grant money available. HOWEVER, NYLA’s YSS section is offering 2 scholarships to the conference! Please contact me if you’d like more information!

SLMS 2003 Conference
The School Library Media Specialist division of NYLA is sponsoring their spring conference in Saratoga Springs May 1-3, 2003. The theme is “Celebrate Success @ Your Library.” For more information about this conference, please visit http://www.enyslma.org/slms_2003.htm. (As with the YSS conference, there is no Continuing Education Grant money available.)

Reminder…Annual reports are due today, February 15th. If you are unable to make this deadline, please email Diana (dianam@flls.org) or Kathy (kathyp@flls.org) as soon as possible.
