Library Council 2022-23 Annual Report
The Annual Report for last year’s Library Council, summarizing Council business and highlights from committees, is in the Library Council documents folder on Google drive. View it here. Council meets again on Wednesday, Sept. 13, 2:30pm Thornton Room. Look for an announcement from a current Council member when the agenda and a Zoom link are ready to share.
Looking Ahead… Take 5 Talks invited for the October session
During the last meeting of Library Council we noted that October is recommended as the time for the next Take 5 Talks session. This is your opportunity to share news about a special project in your department, a staff development event, or other fulfilling activity that enhances your work. Examples of possible topics are in the proposal form – please consider signing up and share your experience/expertise with other staff members.
Keep this in mind especially if you are attending any workshops, webinars, conferences, or other staff development events in the coming month!
Salad Potluck – postponed
Sorry for yet another post about the staff potluck. It seems prudent to postpone this event due to various scheduling conflicts and new student orientation. Library Council might discuss rescheduling over email or at their next meeting, perhaps. The next meeting of council is on September 13, BTW. If you have thoughts about this, contact any member of of Council.
Correction! Summer Salad Potluck will be held Monday August 28
The Moffett Auditorium was not available at the first requested time, so the library staff potluck will be on Monday August 28. The room will be available at 11:45am to get things set up. Please sign up on this spreadsheet.

There are 4 distinct awards defined in the Staff Excellence Awards document: Outstanding Achievement Award
