New Librarians Arriving July 17th!

SLO City's new Reference Librarian and the new Los Osos Branch Manager will begin on July 17th! We await their arrival and membership in our "family" of library employees.

The reference department is getting some timely help from the circulation staff. Two individuals have been assigned to assist us a few hours a week with filing ephemeral business/investment materials and newsletters, conducting obituary searches and preparing related correspondence, and updating our pathfinders and handouts such as the local listings of Internet cafes and Income Tax bookmarks. They will also help with the unrelenting labeling and replacement of U.S. telephone directories! And while they are in our area, they step in and assist with Internet logins when the desk is especially busy. We are very grateful to have their cheerful presence in our department, as well as their superb skills! Thank you to the circulation manager who agreed to spare them on occasion from circulation assignments.

And, our SLO City Library Manager has accepted the Assistant Library Director position for the County System. Congratulations!

Our reference department's online calendar is in a trial mode as of June 26th. [Note: The calendar has not been maintained since moving to another work location. 17 SEPT 2010]
