Date Due Slips -- Denyvetta sent out an e-mail about this recently. She asked how many were still using them, and if they should be discontinued, what would be the impact. Randy said that he doesn't see that there would be much impact, since they can be difficult to read sometimes. Katrina agrees, noting that some customers like to have one for every book. Denyvetta asked if bookmarks with the hours would work as an alternate. The group feeling was that this would be fine.
Spanish Translation needs -- Denyvetta asked if having documents and forms translated was a system-wide need. Mary commented that last year WA had several programs in Spanish, so having posters and flyers to advertise the programs, in Spanish, was a big help. Deb Spindle mentioned that when Mary Lou began going out to the schools to encourage attendance at library programs, one of the principals commented that unless the materials were available in Spanish, there was no need to send anything home to about half of the kids. Deb also noted that the card application is only translated on the front -- not the back with the requirements for the card. Kay thinks this is already available on the Intranet, but will check.
