Charging Station

Hello,

 

I purchased a 6 port USB charging hub for the YA Desk.  It is able to detect the power needs of any device plugged into it.  For instance, it will output more power to charge an iPad than it would for an iPhone.

 

It has 3 Lightning cables (new iPhones and iPads), 1 Android cable and one 30-pin cable (Older iPads and iPhones).   

 

Thanks,

Ryan

Summer Reading Club Volunteer Applications

Students entering grades 8 through 12 and interested in volunteering at the YA Summer Reading Club Desk may pick up an application from the Young Adult desk beginning Sunday, May 1st.  The deadline for returning completed applications is Friday, May 27th.  If there is no one at the YA desk, applications are on top of the oversized book shelves in the YA area.  Please leave completed applications in the folder on the YA desk.                            Thanks!!!

Updates from Department Meeting:

-The Teen's new room may be finished in early July, but opening will be later in summer.
-The last day to order books will be May 15.  Please keep to basic books, no extra peripherals.
-Glass for the new Quiet Room will be here soon, opening is expected in early June.

Also, Ryan got us the large print keyboard that Brian  requested.  It's in middle cabinet on bottom shelf.   To use, just plug into USB port and leave regular keyboard in place.

We can do better than just "googling"  if we knew how to use our databases.  So... I'm asking you to
select an online resource that you either use or think you should use. Let me know what it is and corny as it sounds we are going to teach it to each other.

As a reminder, when you have the opportunity stand up and stretch your bones regularly throughout your desk shift  to see what's happening around you.

Printer Update

I have opened a case with Envisionware to examine the speed issues on the Patron B&W printer.  They have made some setting changes for us on our server and I have physically switched the printer with the one at the Reference Desk.   By switching them, I hope to eliminate any hardware issue with the printer itself.  If you notice any slowness (page to page or hesitations especially) let me know via email.  Please include the time in which they occurred.

 

Thanks-

R

FYI per Kim McCarthy.
