Storybook Halloween Applications for Teen Volunteers

The Storybook Halloween volunteer applications are now available.  They are located on top of the shelf unit that holds the oversized books, teen magazines and games.  Completed applications will be kept in a purple folder at the teen desk.

Study Buddies begins October 6th

FYI - Study Buddies begins again on Mondays and Thursdays from 4:00 - 6:00 PM.  Students in grades 3 - 6 can sign up at the Teen Desk for half hour appointments with a high school honor student volunteer.  Tutorial Rooms 1 & 2 have been reserved from October to the end of May.

Teen PC Issue

Hello,

Recently we have had a student using the Teen PCs (usually 1-3 along the
wall) and the Envisionware "timer" mysteriously disappears.  You will notice
the PC will say "Offline" when using the staff PC Reservation software.  I
am not sure exactly what he is doing - but he is working off of a USB drive.
Please walk up to him and inform him the PC must be rebooted (he does this
right away).  I informed him that if he is doing anything to disable our
software he won't be allowed to use the PCs.  I don't believe he is doing
anything particularly bad, other than tampering with our software (which is
expressly forbidding in the acceptable use policy) Linda is aware of the
student's name and the situation. 



Please pass this on to Part-time staff.



Thanks,

Ryan

I have gotten some humorous questions regarding the Summer Reading Club. Here are a few:

Don't I get that folder?

What's a stylus?

I get those books as a prize?
