With a lot of new books there is a very long wait list for patrons to be able to check out these books.  We have been creating book covers with a qr code that links to the catalog entry for an easy way for patrons to place new arrivals on hold.  This can be done using a barcode scanner on a smartphone or by bringing the cards to the front and allowing the circulation desk to place it on hold.

The Wayne County Public library is committed to lifelong learning.  As part of this commitment I took charge of an outreach program to seniors.  I created this brochure and delivered it to select places in Wayne County.  Not only do we provide a service that delivers books to assisted living homes, but we also have a book buddies program that matches a volunteer with a patron who is home-bound.  This volunteer comes to the library and picks out books to take to their book buddy once or twice a month.        

I was appointed with the task of designing a strategy to keep the fiction and audio sections in order.  We noticed that the sections were getting increasingly out of order and patrons, as well as staff, were having a hard time locating specific books.  Some books were being marked lost and then later were found jammed behind a section.  I created a chart and assigned everyone a specific section to keep orderly.
