Invoice for billing libraries (or anyone) for lost items

Michael S. provided an excel template that we use for invoices that I am going to attach here.  You can see if it would work for you.  You could save it on your computer and then just modify it for your own use. - Betsy B

Media Contacts for PR

A while back, I asked for help from the CEFDA listserve to compile a list of good places to get media coverage in our area for library events.  A number of people sent suggestions, and I made a spreadsheet compiling them.  It's not an elegant spreadsheet by any means, but I thought it might be useful, so I'm going to attach it here (you'll need to be logged in to see it).

Net Borrowers and Net Lenders

Here's an interesting report for the first 6 months of 2009 to show the flow of materials between our automated libraries. Several people have asked me for information about this, and I was playing with how to present it. I ended up with 2 bar charts showing how many items were received and provided by each library. Check out the PDF attachments to this post for details.

Who is a net lender?

Akwesasne, CEF, Champlain, Dannemora, Keeseville, Keene Valley, Lake Placid, Malone, Rouses Point, Ticonderoga, Westport, and Willsboro.

Everyone else is a net borrower!

Too busy to plan

I think I need a "priority coach".  I asked my son, who is into meditation and life balance, what the books he's read (such as "The Power of Now") have to say about priority setting.  He said they teach how to calm your mind and be present, not how to plan for the future.  But meditation can clear your mind so that you can think better!
