Say it isn't so!

Is this really Pat Jones blogging? Oh that arm-twisting, who has some ALEVE?

The topic up for discussion seems to be how this can be implemented as a useful communication tool to enhance sharing information amongst (is that really a word?!) (quick check the OED) staff. We know we don't read the BEAUTIFUL signs Pat slaves over & dutifully hangs everywhere except the public bathrooms promoting upcoming programs. We may read Julia G.'s signs, but I KNOW my signs are ignored. "Program, what program are we having, Pat. Some patron asked about it, but I didn't know anything about it. Did you make signs?" Quote, unquote. So maybe this place can be viewed once or twice a week just to get the latest newsflash on what's happening at our branch, so we're all promoting & on the same page. ? Tag, you're it.
