Our CSA Project

You may have seen emails in the daily announcements inviting the Stevenson Community to participate in our community supported agriculture project. The veggies that arrived today were so colorful, Sue Bonsteel and I just had to take some pictures to share with you so you could see what you are missing! By all accounts, the folks who have participated in this venture have been thrilled with their weekly delivery from One Straw Farm. Several participants have commented that they are learning how to cook new things, and that the taste of these fresh organic vegetables is incredible fresh and flavorful. I am hopeful that we will be able to continue this next summer.

Summer in the Library

Commencement is tomorrow, and the library staff are getting ready for a busy summer of skill refreshment punctuated by a couple of retreats. We will see students, which is always nice, but they'll come in larger groups toward the middle of the summer season. Next week, we'll have a Summon demo, preparatory to choosing a discovery system for the SHARC catalog: the overlay of a discovery system like Summon should enable students to have a more google-like experience searching the catalog and our subscription databases. Other projects: we're picking out a new pattern for anticipated carpet replacement (come and vote for your favorite from the samples available near the library entry); working on a self-guided audio tour that will feature use of QR Codes; I'll be leading a kick-off Deep Dive workshop on the Learning Commons model; library staff will also take the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator soon to prepare for a discussion on team-building to be led by Maureen Sullivan in July. Lots going on! Have a great summer!
