5.3 I'.II IIw ! ' CI To: Elk River Library Board CC: Lori Lundstrom, LSC From: Jeannette Burkhardt, Patron Services Supervisor Date: October 25, 2022 Introduction My name is Jeannette Burkhardt. I am the new Patron Services Supervisor for the Wright and Sherburne county libraries. I have been an employee of the Great River Regional Library system for 15 years. I held the positions of Library Assistant and Library Services Coordinator, in the neighboring libraries of Becker and Big Lake, before taking on the regional role of Patron Services Supervisor, October 3, 2022. Year End Campaign Great River Regional Library's Year -End Campaign will start on November 1 with letters going out to all previous donors. This fundraising effort benefits the regional library system as a whole. This is the biggest and most extensive fundraising effort of the year. The Year End Campaign helps fund Communications, Programming, and Collection Development. The topic/theme for 2022 will be Wifi2Go. The support from the Year End Campaign will help continue this service to GRRL patrons. Hot Spots The Hot Spots program has expanded. Currently, there are 150 hot spot devices that float throughout the region. These hot spots are available for requests or renewals and check out for 3 weeks. Each branch has newly upgraded hot spots that are considered Lucky Day items. These devices are available on a first -come - first -serve basis, are not available for requests or renewals and check out for 1 week. Library Development Plan The Leadership Team is currently working on the Library Development Plan. This plan helps the GRRL board determine if all branches are situated to meet the needs of the communities in which the branch resides. The Development Plan also looks at other service options and helps determine if those service options are feasible and sustainable for other locations within GRRL's service area. \%GRARY FAT RIVER MOM
