Hello, As we work on our Strategic Plan, we are doing environmental analysis of several variables and analyzing how they may impact the Library in the next 5-7 years. I am interested in your input as I work on a couple areas. 1) How do you see the balance of digital vs print materials developing by 2022? 2) How will suburban/urban library usage change by 2022? For your info, other areas we are looking at... * Trends in use of space: quiet vs community; maker vs study rooms; material storage vs open space * Trends in services: e-delivery; programs across all age groups; website content * Partnerships * Changes in staffing and volunteer availability * Funding environment * Regulatory requirements * Patron/community needs * Demographics * Technology trends * Educational trends Thank you and have a wonderful day, Nyama Nyama Y.

FW: 500 single CD kwik cases available FREE
by Marsh, Nyama 06 May '16

06 May '16

[Inline image 1] Anybody want single CD kwik cases? I’ve got several hundred. Can’t think of any upcycling crafts to turn them into a kids craft. I am happy to even pay shipping to send them to you, just so I can be rid of them and have my storage space back. I’ve been trying to offload them for a couple years and am loathe to send them to the dump. Thank you and have a wonderful day, Nyama Nyama Y.
