Get Job Help at the Library
Thanks to the success of last September’s Job Help Day, we’ve planned another day of help for folks looking to advance their career. Our next Job Help Day will be held on Thursday, March 18. 40Plus of Central Ohio will be at the Main Library at 10:30 a.m. to discuss networking. Manager of Reference Services Mark Mangini will present a look at library resources for job seekers at 2 p.m. We're offering one-on-one resumé clinics by appointment between 11 a.m.-2 p.m. The Lane Road Branch will offer help with online job seeking at 1 p.m. For more information or to register for a resumé clinic, visit our online program calendar.
Take Our Patron Satisfaction Survey
As part of our strategic planning process, we've developed a brief survey to gauge how satisfied our patrons are with the library. The few minutes you spend completing the online survey can make a big difference as we determine our future goals. Click here to participate and let your voice be heard.
Someone recently reminded me that lemonade starts with lemons. For the Upper Arlington Public Library, the lemons represent a reduction in our revenue from the state Public Library Fund. In January 2010 we received 16% less funds than we did in January 2009. In February our reduction was 23% less than we received in February 2009. Total revenues for 2009 were $410,000 less than we had received in 2008. Public libraries across Ohio are experiencing these reductions in our state funding. Reductions of this magnitude impact our ability to offer the level of services that our patrons expect and that we are committed to providing.
So, what do you do when someone gives you lemons? You take the sugar from the cupboard, turn on the faucet, fill your container with water, and make lemonade! That is exactly what the outstanding staff and new Board of Trustees is doing - making sweet things happen that I hope you will enjoy with us.
In January, the Board of Trustees approved moving forward with the lighting improvement project in the Adult Services and Atrium area at the Main Library.
