Library Lens - Week 13

This week's photos capture spring, growth and teamwork!

Sarah Forgrave shared this collage of photos from last week depicting the Services For Working Group hard at work during a card sorting exercise. "During the sort, we mapped all of our services to each of our 5 personas which will form the foundation for our “Information For” sections of the new website! The Services For working group is comprised of: Rachel McNeil, Meredith Fischer, Kathy Szigeti, Rose Koebel, Aziz Aboueleinin, Helena Calogeridis, Mary Lynne Bartlett, Jeff Macarandang and myself. This marks an exciting time in the library’s website design process as we begin to put together a significant piece of the content puzzle to make our site even better for our users!"

Sara Perkins didn't need to wait for the weather to warm to enjoy the fruits of her labour in Musagetes' Rare Book display case.

The LTFS and Digital Initiatives staff organized a trip to SupperWorks at lunchtime on Thursday and cooked meals for Graham Faulkner's family, a gift in celebration of his son Kohen’s arrival March 5th. Pictured are Andrew McAlorum and Pascal Calarco preparing one of the dishes. Congratulations, Graham! Submitted by Graham Faulkner.

Sarah Perkins found fresh greens on her desk this morning. "Carrie and Victoria are Architecture students who will be doing an eCo-op this summer. They will be growing edible plants using a hydroponic growing system that will be housed in the library! They will be selling their produce to local businesses. More photos about that project soon!"

This week's throw-back photos

Connie Deighan submitted this photo. "Here is a blast from the past … Shirley Fraser, Connie Deighan, Nancy Heimpel, Val Permaul and Lois Weber… I think the year was 1974 when the cataloguing girls got together for a shower for Shirly Fraser. Three of us still here out of the 5".
