Announcements
A new Development Officer, Beth Benzing, has been hired to assist the Libraries and Honors and her start date is July 5, 2016
Maggie met with Facilities and Food Services on 6/15 regarding Starbucks
Going out to bid end of week – we will know the final costs and schedule once bids are provided and a final contractor is selected
The proposed timetable is for construction to start in August and conclude by Thanksgiving (or must stop until after exams)
There is some overlap of construction and Starbucks costs that hopefully will reduce the total cost
Brown Room classes will be relocated to other Cooper classrooms during construction since the construction noise will be disruptive
Cooper Lobby had a section of the carpet removed and terrazzo tile refinished
A concern of slipperiness is being addressed
New Cooper lobby furniture is on order (from endowment funds)
Rooms 109 and 110 have been dry-walled over the cinder block walls and painted
CCIT is replacing computer furniture on the 5th floor
Library will be replacing carpet on east and west side since the furniture will be pulled out but the entire floor will be not be carpeted until the Starbucks remodel is complete so likely summer 2017
1st floor study rooms will be painted
Blue wall at back of 4th floor will have glass boards installed
Professional Development Follow-Up Proposal
Planning Committee (Andy Wesolek, Melissa O’Neill, Kristy Snider) presented
Proposal : To share Chuck Knepfle’s compiled notes with all Library faculty and staff
Insert take-aways so each individual is tasked with own responsibility to act upon customer service training
Unit Heads to appoint interested faculty and staff to define/compact a service statement of purpose using ideas shared at the 5/5 PD Day, then request approval from entire Library
Final product to be posted on StaffWeb
Decision: Maggie to send a message to share “what’s next” since our 5/5 Professional Development Day
Maggie’s message was sent the evening of 6/16
LLT will continue working on Libraries Forward plan as part of process
Small teams will review Library’s mission, vision, and philosophy statements to incorporate comments and statements from the PD day into this process.
Anticipated draft to be ready in the fall for a broader discussion via a possible forum
