MC Retirement Party
We have posted signs inviting patrons to Michaele's retirement party on Jan. 19. We are requesting an RSVP to give Pat a rough idea of how to plan. The sign-up sheet is in the front of the Programs binder at Circ.
Please note: there was no RSVP in the newsletter, so it's requested, not required.

Back to the Future Trilogy
Back to the Future trilogy which was checked in on 12/27 cannot be found. The disks are not in the notebooks either. If you happen to come across the set, there is a request for it. I looked through the basket at the front and on the shelves, but no luck.
I have changed the status to Missing, so you will need to check it in to get the reserve request.
Thanks,
mc

Chess Set
A new rosewood chess set has been added to the Rotunda. This board was donated by a middle school boy who enjoys playing, but thought we should have a new board with all the pieces.
His name is on a small label on the set.

Green Stickers on New Magazines
We have started putting green "New" stickers on the current issues of the magazines. Stickers are in upper left-hand corner. These are in place of the plastic covers. There are signs posted around the shelves saying that these issues may not be checked out.

New Desktop Link on Circ Computers
Look for a new Desktop Link on the lower center part of circ displays: New Jersey Citizens Guide to Government. The page, put up by the NJ League of Women Voters, has information about state and federal government officials including which NJ municipalities are included in each district.
Feel free to check with me if you have any questions.

Elected officials now all live together in LibRef
I incorporated all the booklets we have that contain our elected officials in a blue binder Named Elected Officials (look for the green happy face). It is located on the shelf at the very beginning of LibRef right by the phone. It contains the League of Women voters citizens guide, Somerset County Official Directory of County and Munipal Offices and Our Town information directory. I have marked all our elected officials with red tags, and updated Borough Council.

Somerville residents + Somerville Library no longer reciprocating
As of 1/1/2010, Somerville Library will no longer be a reciprocal borrowing library. It is joining the Somerset County system. Most of our Somerville residents that use the library also work in town. I adjusted their cards accordingly by changing their patron statistical code to Bernardsville--courtesy. Only four patrons were Somerville only. They have a stop on their card stating that they must purchase a card when their present card expires. If these patrons happen to work in town, please add that address to their card, and change the stat code to Bernardsville--courtesy.
This also means that our patrons cannot use their cards at Somerville Library. They will have to use ILL instead.

Online Resources Awareness
Following up on Linda's idea for better notice of online resources, there is now a one-page guide at the Circulation Desk with all online resources listed by category. Please try this out -- point out to patrons, leave the sign face-out, whatever you think works and we'll discuss at the next staff meeting, Karen

J & YA magazines
The YS department has started to discard all 2009 magazines from the collection. Several of the magazines are currently out and stops have been placed on these magazines. Please give all magazines with a stop to Michaele, Anne, or Felicia.
If any magazines with a publication of 2009 or less come across the circulation desk, they should be given to YS staff.
Thank you for helping with this purge!
