GREAT RIVER REGIONAL LIBRARY-ONE LIBRARY 32 LOCATIONS I will be meeting with Mayor Dietz,Cal Portner,and Michael Hecker on Wednesday, March 22 to answer some of their questions about the City-Sponsored programs and thank them for the great support that the City provides to GRRL. Huge Shout-Out to Our Amazing Staff The staff at Elk River have been amazing through this transition. In addition to Will's resignation,we lost two other long-time staffers: Rose Bailey(aide)and Pam Wagman (assistant).This has added to the challenge for the remaining staff, but they have been extraordinary to work with during this time. In particular, Deb Luken,former LSC for Monticello and currently a library assistant substitute,finished the summer program plans,found the subs needed for the open positions,and has generally been my right hand during this time. General GRRL Info Color Copies and Printing GRRL has started rolling out color copiers in select locations, including Elk River. We have a five-year plan to set up color copiers in all locations. Color copies and prints cost$0.50 per printed side,while black and white remains at$0.10. We're excited to be able to provide this service for our patrons, and so far the response has been positive. High Five Your Library We are in the midst of our annual fund drive when we ask library supporters to give us a "High Five" with a $5 donation. Half of the revenues raised stay local and provide funds for programming, display, incentives, etc.The other half of the revenue supports collection and other operating costs for GRRL. If you haven't yet made your donation (and received your bright green library supporter bracelet), please give us a High Five before the end of the month.
