Whether it is an attack by an individual person or by an international group of professionals intent on conveying a political message through violence, ALICE Training option based tactics have become the accepted response, versus the traditional “lockdown only” approach.

This Week's Special Library Spotlight

Eleanor Squire Library

[https://neo-rls.org/photos/52033_05242019151532.jpg]
The Eleanor Squire Library at the Cleveland Botanical Garden is one of the oldest circulating garden libraries in the world, starting in 1937. A donation of books by a member of the Garden Club of Cleveland was the primary reason to create a Garden Center within the city, now the oldest civic garden center within a major metropolitan area. The rare book collection has been now moved to Corning Library of Holden Arboretum after the two institutions merged in 2014. Currently the Sqiuire library has 12,000 titles and features Ohio resources, urban and general gardening.

Don't miss your opportunity to hear from Gary Esmonde, Library D irector at the Cleveland Botanical Garden, as he tells you how he can assist your patrons.  Join us on Tuesday, July 23, 2019<http://mms.neo-rls.org/Calendar/moreinfo.php?eventid=53058> at Cleveland Heights-University Heights Public Library to hear about this special library and many others.

A Note from the Executive Director

[http://neo-rls.org/photos/50177_03042019090623.jpg]Today is the first day of our new fiscal year, and as such, it is the beginning of a new Board of Trustees with two members ending their terms.  I would like to take this opportunity to thank Joe Zappitello, Director, Harbor-Topky Public Library and Director of the Grand River Academy Library, for his seven years of service to NEO-RLS.  As a Trustee, Joe participated for multiple years on the Finance Committee, on the Nominating Committee, Personnel Committee and most recently on the Bylaws/Policy Committee.  We will miss his insights, enthusiasm and advocacy.  I would also like to thank Chuck Vesei, Director, Ritter Library, Baldwin Wallace University.  Chuck has served on the Board two years, participating on the Nominating Committee and the Finance Committee.  In his short tenure he has been a strong advocate of NEO-RLS within the academic library community and instrumental in the membership of several academic and public libraries.  We will miss his excellent questions and perspective on programming and services.  Thank you Joe and Chuck!  We are also welcoming back two At-Large Board members, Amy Switzer, Director, Shaker Heights Public Library, and Laura Leonard, Director, Twinsburg Public Library.  In addition, CJ Lynce <https://neo-rls.org/news_manager.php?page=20280> , Assistant Director, Westlake Porter Public Library, will join us as the newest Board member.  Thank you to everyone who dedicates time to NEO-RLS on behalf of the many and varied libraries in our 22 county region.  Together we are maximizing library potential!

Working as a Team at the Circulation Desk
Don't miss this year's ever popular Day for Circ Staff:
It's All About Myers-Briggs and Working as a Team.  Still 3 more opportunities to attend.

Last month's attendees had this to say:
"I would say that the section on body language awareness was the most enlightening part of the day for me."

"I liked the discussion of difference between the types, but that we should work to find balance or methods of doing things that can be comfortable for people with opposite preferences."

Be sure to join us at one of the following workshops:
Tuesday, August 13, 2019 - Mentor Public Library <https://mms.neo-rls.org/Calendar/moreinfo.php?eventid=51162>
Thursday, September 12, 2019 -Canfield Library <https://mms.neo-rls.org/Calendar/moreinfo.php?eventid=51163>
