Children's Day Festival 2015

Submitted by jhausburg on Wed, 05/06/2015 - 08:08

On April 19th, Capitol Hill and OUT staff participated in SW 29th Street's 3rd annual Children's Festival Day. Theme of the event was "Family Fun Focused on Children's Future".

At the library booth, families and children visited to pick their choice of an age-appropriate book. We estimate that between 700-800 books were distributed. Spoticus was on hand to give hugs and high-fives!

What a great way to emphasize that the library plays a big part in forming a child's future.

Tinker Air Force Base Library Card Sign Up

Submitted by shenderson on Wed, 11/13/2013 - 16:39

Recently, Metro was contacted by Tinker Air Force base because they were curious as to what we could offer those serving at the base. Metro staff met with Tinker's Commanding Officer and the Director of the Tinker Library and from this meeting, we determined that it would be helpful to visit the base to sign up service members for library cards so on October 30th, staff from Midwest City and Planning did just that. In attendance from Midwest City was Chris Kennedy, Tracey Thompson, Crystal Suppes and Shirley Henderson while Kellie Delaney and Tim Spindle from Planning were there, too.

Diane informed the managers that the VI and RE landscaping projects are complete. She is currently in the process of working with Chris on the MC landscaping project.

Please forward community stories to Diane. She shared a story of a little girl from Edmond name Joy Laudrenburger who has autism and does public speaking across the country. She was featured in a Newsok.com article titled, “Dog helped open up world for Edmond girl with autism.” Diane has plans to reach out to Joy to see if she would be interested in speaking at our library.

Donna greeted managers and gave a brief overview of the Compensation and Classification Study. The AdTeam met with Singer Group on July 11 & 12 to discuss the progress of the study. Donna indicated that good results were received from the employee survey and shared that MLS salary structure is very good. The Singer Group is developing an appeals process and has completed a very extensive benefits survey (which may be viewed via the Intranet.)
