At the last Managers of Library Operations meeting on November 13,2013, we covered the topic of positivity.  During the discussion, someone presented the idea of the libraries having a work day in which there is no negativity...no gossip...at all...just for a day.  A day where we put other's feelings, needs and considerations on the same level as our own. The group got very excited about the idea and overwhelmingly agreed it try it out.

Thursday, November 21, 2013 is Positive Sparks Day at Metropolitan Library System libraries. This day focuses on creating a positive work environment that is gossip and complaint free. Each staff member wears a "Get Sparked" button to remind them to think and act in a positive manner toward customers and co-workers. We encourage you to "Get Sparked!"
