Notes From Nubi - Sad News for Me

Mom broke some sad news to me today.  :(

Because the library is “migrating” from one automation system to another, and mom is the one who takes care of the technical/computer stuff as well as doing Tale Time, she has had to cancel my Tale Time sessions until further notice.  :(  :(

She said that every “migration” has some hiccups, usually minor in nature, but she will be the one making sure that they stay minor.   As an example, because of the new system every patron will have to surrender their card for a new barcode; and there are just under 3,000 library patrons!  And mom isn’t sure if they will have to put new barcodes on all the books too and there are about 28,000 of them!

Then we might have to close down for at least one training day for the staff to learn the new system.

But mom hopes things will go smoothly – she does tend to be a worry wart – and maybe we will be able to start back up again in late November or December.  So cross your fingers and toes, wish us luck and I hope to be back in the library soon.

Take care until I see you again. - Nubi
