Internal Press Releases

There was such a big response to the feedback request on the possible cancellation for New York Times Online, I thought posting the decision here would be more useful than individual emails. The responses indicated a high level of value gained by keeping the NYT despite it’s in-house use limitations and duplicate content.

Our team in Development & Volunteer Services wanted to provide the following updates to all staff.

First, congratulations to the staff at Southern Oaks! They have won the drawing held during the Friends of the Metropolitan Library System’s spring/summer Membership Campaign. All libraries were invited to help encourage customers to become Friends’ members. For their efforts, the team at Southern Oaks will be recognized with a delivery of pies from Pie Junkie!

The Graphic Novel Discussion Group’s recommendations for changes in cataloging and shelving these materials have been adopted and will be implemented in the coming months. Read about the decisions and how they impact your library here.
