Report of the Director Debbie Podolski – May 19, 2020

NLS The member library directors met this week for the weekly check in meeting. NLS Director, Caroline Ashby reported that she has had an uptick in calls from directors and trustees regarding the executive orders coming from the governor. She advised libraries to contact their library attorney for specifics related to their library.

Caroline reported on the group purchasing of PPE. Our order of disposable face masks is at NLS. David Kass will go there to pick them up. Caroline was able to get face shields at a discount and sent an order form out to the libraries. After last week’s board meeting, I ordered an additional 25 face shields so we have one per employee.

Caroline was contacted by Tracey Edwards who is on the Regional Control Room established by the governor to review plans for reopening in our region. Tracey asked that Caroline submit a library plan following the director’s meeting. Caroline reported on the plan that she drafted which was based on weeks of discussions with directors and the work that the Reopening Committee and the village libraries prepared. Basically, libraries would start at Level 1 with staff returning to the library followed by Level 2 which would be curbside pickup and the continuation of virtual services. Our region has to meet 7 of the 7 benchmarks to start at Level 1. As of this writing, Nassau County fell backward to 4 of the 7 benchmarks being met.

Robert Drake reported on the Capira Curbside pickup app that would be integrated in the existing Library app. I attended the NLCA Tech Group meeting on Monday and hear Mike Berse from Capira describe the app and present slides showing the different functionality. This would help us provide contactless curbside service. There will be more information about this app soon.

Reopening Committee The MLD Reopening Committee met following the director’s meeting. The Communication Subcommittee reported on the messaging and instructions that we will need for our patrons once we start curbside pickup. The subcommittee prepared an FAQ that the group will be reviewing.

The Facilities/PPE Subcommittee prepared a list of vendors for supplies, signs, and plexiglass shields. I received an email from Todd Harvey from Beatty, Harvey, Coco architects and Pansy Cheng from H2M that provided information for libraries about things to consider in these new times. I asked the committee if I could contact Pansy and Todd to provide a Zoom meeting for directors to have them discuss redesigning library interiors as well as the UV lighting for disinfecting materials. The committee thought it was a good idea. I reached out to Todd and Pansy and are working on dates.

There is also a Training Subcommittee. Nicole Scherer will be working on training issues related to staff enforcing library policies and training in the use of PPE. Our staff is concerned about patrons entering the building without a mask and how to enforce library policy.

The Staff Subcommittee is concerned with the legal issues related to staff complying with PPE, the CARES Act, and any other laws that may arise. I contacted Andrew Martingale to see if he has prepared a document or had advice for his Suffolk libraries that he could share with the Nassau directors. He said it is in the works.

Staff We continue our weekly staff meetings. The big topic is reopening and procedures. Many are focused on the phase when the public is in the building. I emphasized that we need to prepare for level 1, when the staff returns to the library to work without the public in the building. The next phase will be curbside pickup. I discussed the app with them. My message is that we need to take one phase at a time. As it stands, libraries believe that we are part of Phase 4 in the governor’s plan which also includes education. Caroline Ashby reported that NYLA is requesting that the governor include libraries in Phase 2! As you may, know some regions in New York will be opening soon.

Additional Virtual Services I have been in touch with Brienne Johnson our social worker from Family Service League. She is available to do virtual counseling. I sent her the instructions on how to get messages from her telephone extension. She will be able to receive messages via phone as well as emails. We will publicize our social work services in the next newsletter.

Charles Restivo from Senior Connections is very anxious to return to the library. We discussed how he could fulfill Senior Connections tasks from home. With some telephone troubleshooting, he was able to connect to the Senior Connections email from home. He will be able to access the emails to retrieve patron questions, then telephone the patrons from home.

Report of Assistant Director May 19, 2020 Submitted by Christa Lucarelli

This week I have asked the circulation staff to begin creating bibliographies of our materials available for curbside pickup. For example, if a patron is interested in finding out which television series we own on DVD, they would simply view the document available on our website instead of having to search each individual series name in the catalog. This will be done for the majority of our collection to make our material as accessible to the patrons as possible. Many Nassau libraries are joining together to do coordinated booking of performers to ensure quality programs at an affordable cost. One of the performers, Page Turner Adventures, offers a 10-week program for $500 (maximum cost). Programs are offered Monday-Friday and are prerecorded to allow patrons to view at various, and multiple, times through June, July, and August. Dolores is reviewing the criteria for the posting of the programs and will let me know the best way for our patrons to access the videos. Singer and songwriter Darlene Graham is a community favorite! Her in-house programs always fill up and have long waiting lists. She does high-energy, live, interactive virtual programs using Zoom. She is able to host 100 families on her Zoom account and her fee is $150. We will feature Darlene as our finale program for families with young children. We will also look for performers and in-house programs to fill in any gaps for the multiple age groups we serve. Now that we have access to the building David Kass has been going in to sort mail so that essential mail can be handled by the business office. Since David was already going to be in the building, I asked him to go to the train station and fill the Little Free Library with books from our sale cart, paperback donation spinner, and donation carts in the technical processing area. He is also filling the “library” with seed packets. It is one of the ways the library can still be serving our community at this time. David will continue to do this as long as we have the resources to do so. I continue to: participate in NLS meetings, keep in touch with the staff regarding projects, view webinars focusing on safety and reopening of libraries, brainstorm virtual programming, and other “normal” job responsibilities.

Respectfully Submitted, Christa Lucarelli

Business Office Activities May 19, 2020

We are pleased to report that we were able to return to the Library to bring the financial and payroll responsibilities up to date after a two month pause. It was extremely helpful for us to return to mail out payments, prepare checks for payroll, utilities and reconcile bank statements for the months of March and April. Once the catchup process is completed we will be able to move forward with all our responsibilities and keep things current. Our goal is to have everything up to date and current by the end of the fiscal year once the backlog of items is settled. Connie Kunkel, Connie Fleming and I have been in close contact during this time in order to get as much done at home as possible. We expect the yearly audit of the Library to begin shortly and as a result we want to be confident that all the required documents are available for the auditors’ review. We have contacted the Treasurer and he will now be able to come in and start to sign the checks we are able to prepare. We have made certain to obtain approvals from Therese Rudden and Tom Arangio who have been part of our subcommittee during this time and adhere to the guidelines which are already in place. We reached out collectively to as many people and vendors as possible to assure them they will be paid and most have been very supportive.

Reference Department Report May 19th, 2020 Submitted by Stuart Schaeffer, Head of Reference

During April 2020 Stuart Schaeffer recorded nine Zoom videos for the library’s YouTube page. Topics of the videos included many of the library’s more popular online databases. The videos are all roughly 15-25 minutes in length and discuss the various features of each online database.

Specifically, he created videos for RBDigital Magazines, Novelist Plus, New York Times Online, World Book Online, Reference USA, Newsday Online, Gale Biography In Context, Business Insights: Essentials and Consumer Reports. More of these videos/tutorials will be coming out and uploaded to YouTube in the following weeks.

Also, in April 2020, Stuart Schaeffer added to the Farmingdale Pinterest boards that he created in late March. In particular he added ‘Pinterest Pins’ to his ‘Virtual Tour’, ‘Census’ and ‘Virtual Fitness’ Pinterest boards’.

During the month he also created two read-alike bibliographies – one for James Patterson and another for John Grisham.

During April Stuart Schaeffer attended several virtual webinars to learn about new resources and how to help patrons deal with the Covid-19 pandemic. Titles of these webinars were: Creative Bug (an online database we are considering subscribing to), ‘Public Libraries Respond to Covid-19- Managing Stress/Anxiety’, Jester Jim videos on ‘How to Post to YouTube’ and a webinar on ‘How to Use Google Forms/Sheets in the Library’.

Stuart Schaeffer created a bibliography titled ‘Services to Patrons During the Pandemic’

Finally, he called two patrons that he was friendly with before we left the library due to the Covid- 19 pandemic.

Adult Programming Board Report Tuesday, May 19, 2020 Submitted by Caryn Emde, Adult Programming Coordinator

April was our first full month of virtual programming and I think all of those involved were trying to figure out what to do! It is still an ongoing process and I know I am learning as I go. We have to figure out what can work, and what won’t. Also, what patrons want and what they don’t. I set up a program on Thursday mornings, as part of an ongoing series titled Coffee Chats, with a subtitle of Your Turn! I had hoped patrons would join as a way for me to learn what they would like the library to do for them. Unfortunately, the couple of times people joined they were not really interested in talking about library programming, but just talking. I had no problem listening and talking, but that really wasn’t the aim of those chats! I also scheduled Coffee Chats on Tuesday mornings. These ranged in topics, and so far, myself and other librarians have discussed books, food, movies and television. Our book discussions have covered recommended reading and upcoming titles. While we will have most of these books in print form once the library reopens, all of the librarians try to emphasize what is available for download through Nassau Digital Doorway. Our movie and television chats include what we are watching now, and recommendations. The food chat was fun because the librarians talked about recipes they were attempting to make from home and comfort food. Patrons are encouraged to participate and share what they are reading, watching, and cooking from home. I also scheduled some evening meet-ups titled What Are You Reading? I thought to try both evening and morning programs to see if we would get more patrons at one or the other. The evening programs covered books in general, science fiction and fantasy, and graphic novels. I had the most luck with the general discussions where I discussed books I was currently reading and some upcoming titles that might be of interest. Attendance has been low for the virtual programs, and I’m hoping with the publication of the limited newsletter that will be coming out once a month attendance will pick up. Programs for may include trivia nights, a paint-and-sip night, French lessons (courtesy of our part-time librarian Cletus Dipnibe), a live quiz-show-like program, and database help. I will continue the Coffee Chats on the topics that patrons are responding to, and I have restarted my evening book club. Christine McCarthy had planned on starting a morning book club in May while the building was open, and she will be doing that virtually as well. This is a learning process for us all and I am glad that I have received enthusiasm, encouragement, and participation from everyone! It has made my job less stressful going forward knowing that I have my colleagues to back me up and help me out with programming.

Youth Services Board Report April 2020

Elena Jannello

We have been working diligently to reconfigure our previous programming initially planned and set to go two months prior to closing March 13th. This involved analyzing what would translate well virtually and what would not. Our ideas were already there, it was the execution that we needed to work on, including technology we had not previously used, such as Zoom and YouTube. We had to take into consideration craft and other materials available, or not available, to us in our homes. It was and always is important for us to come across as professionally as we would for in- person programming. Thankfully, books have been made available online for our use and we will have more with new databases we are considering purchasing. These new databases will not only provide a large variety of books, which give us the option to read to the children ourselves, but they support the learning with lesson plans, activity sheets, games, puzzles, comprehension question, and quizzes. They also provide guided reading level information that parents can use to track their child’s growth over the summer. This is extremely helpful in providing the depth and width of a summer program we can be proud of in the new normal, one that will support any level of need in our community.

We have been providing a variety of programs for the community for all age groups, offering at least 6 - 8 new ones a week. They run the gamut from virtual tours of museums, zoos and aquariums to early literacy and math. I have run alphabet programs focusing on one letter a week, ABC Time with letters F, G and H for example, and early math programs such as Money Fun and 1-2-3 Fun. I have also offered Babytime for our littlest patrons. For teens, we have offered Lip Balm Making, Playdough Soap and T-Shirt Totes.

In addition, we are now YouTubers! We have all learned very quickly and have uploaded more diverse programming. We seem to have a good following and will continue to do so as more people, from all over, find us on YouTube. I have also viewed webinars on different topics from Librarianship in the Time of COVID 19 to How to Make a Great Video done by Jester Jim.

I have increased my posting to the Young Adult Blog on our website in the hopes that it will become another way of bringing teens news and information about YA books and authors through professional journals and literature websites specifically geared toward them that they would not ordinarily get.

Rachel Sferlazza

This month, we have tried to expand our programing, both in numbers and in variety of offerings. I’ve run language-learning programs, such as “ABCs and ASL, to art classes, to LEGO clubs, to virtual museum tours. In particular, I think that the virtual tours are a new type of program, which could have an audience among children and adults. Since so many cultural activities are closed, museums are offering both videos of the inside of their buildings, and even “walking tours” via Google Arts and Culture. This platform, which resembles Google Maps/Google Street View, allows the user to explore museums from a computer; I’ve used this platform to share museums that I am passionate about, and give children a tour that is as comprehensive as the one they would receive in person.

In addition to our programs, our YouTube channel continues gaining followers. I have made videos describing crafts from programs (for children who missed the live program), but also book talks, and videos of simple crafts and activities that can be done in 10 minutes or less. For example, for the teens, I made a video of how to create a facial scrub using three kitchen ingredients (coffee grounds, coconut oil, and brown sugar). Natalie and I have been working at gradually providing closed captioning to our videos, so that they may be more accessible. (YouTube offers automatic closed captioning, but its results are not accurate, so we’ve been correcting them.) Our Young Adult Instagram and Snapchat accounts have also been gaining followers; I would estimate that in the time since we’ve closed for the pandemic, we’ve gained as many followers as we have in the past few months combined, if not the past year. We’ve gained so many followers since closing because I post on both accounts daily, to provide content of interest directly for the teens (such as college application resources, free YA books, etc.). In particular, our Snapchat has gained more interest, because of its teen-friendly, easy-to-use, nature.

I have also been attending many webinars and virtual conferences; the most notable among them were the Middle Grade Magic, offered by School Library Journal, and the NCLA Tech Committee meetings. Middle Grade Magic is a publisher and author event, which connects librarians with upcoming content, and an understanding of why those titles will be hot, as well as the authors’ processes. I felt it was important to attend this daylong conference, because I am the librarian who orders children’s chapter book fiction and graphic novels, which certainly encompasses the middle grade audience. The Tech meetings, though, have been very different: focused on digital technologies to better serve our patrons during this time of quarantine, and applications and programs which will help us with reopening procedures. Additionally, my colleagues and I took part in the “Supercharged Storytimes” training offered by the NY State Library. This ten-hour course met virtually, both with live webinars and asynchronous work. Only thirty students are allowed to take this course per session statewide, and I’m glad we got to go through it together. The content focused on providing better early literacy services to very young children, and it was a nice refresher course!

I feel I learned a lot and had some great experiences in April. I attended very interesting webinars and conferences, as well as a learning curve of what seems to be working for us and what isn't. I had the opportunity to attend the virtual Middle Grade Magic 2020 conference, which was different. It was a similar experience to what would happen in person, such as attending panels and visiting booths, but doing it virtually I found that I missed the social interactions that happen in between. I also attended two fantastic webinars hosted by Jester Jim on ways to help improve the quality of video recordings offered to our patrons through our YouTube channel. Supercharged Storytime was a 4-part course that we all took together in the department as well. It was very informative, and I feel I learned a lot. It was great to hear what other people do during their storytimes and even picked up some new tricks to try when we can all be together again.

I ran quite a few fun programs, such as Let's Bake Cookies where the children and I prepared chocolate chip cookies for them to bake with their families. I also "visited" the Smithsonian National Zoo, as well as the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The children absolutely loved these visits. While there, I looked up information on the different animals in real time so that the children could learn more, and they also asked me some really great questions that we were able to answer together. I also ran several craft-based programs that I then uploaded tutorials for onto our YouTube channel. Seed starters for your garden, how to make a rose out of duct tape, and what you can make with an old egg carton. I look forward to continuing to "visit" different places and have fun together in these uncertain times.

Local History Board Report Tuesday, May 19, 2020 Natalie Korsavidis, Head of Local History and Toniann Contarino

Natalie has attended many webinars on local history topics such as emergency preparedness and how to use certain websites and their databases. Some of these were extremely useful and she will be utilizing what she learned when the library is re-opened. She has also attended an Ask an Archivist program run by LILRC. Toniann attended many webinars through LILRC on local history topics, as well. These topics were: Preserving What’s Been Stuck in that Old (Scrap)book, Preserve a Stack of Old Letters, Photograph Preservation Basics, More Bang for Your Buck: Making the Most of Preservation Materials, Do’s and Don’ts of Oral History, and Donating Your Family Items to an Archives. Toniann attended these to aid in the advancement of the local history collection.

Toniann completed two blog posts. The first blog post was Wardenclyffe Tower about Tesla’s tower and now science center. The second blog post was the Royal Arcanum which was the first club in the village of Farmingdale. The first blog post was general local history about a place on Long Island, but the second blog post was specifically about Farmingdale history.

Toniann contributed to Natalie’s idea of Local History Trivia and created a few questions to add to her trivia questions. We need to decide our best way to use these questions, but we think it might be a fun way to get patrons involved.

Natalie created two videos that were uploaded to YouTube. The first one was a brief introduction to Ancestry.com, which patrons can currently access from their homes. The second one was an introduction on how to use their Local History Libguide.

Natalie went through each tab and entry of the LibGuide to ensure there were no typos, misspellings, or errors. If there was something missing, she also added that. She has also been doing research and adding entries to the encyclopedia. She is also doing research for a project she and Toniann are working on to update information found in the book From Farms to Flight.

Natalie, along with Toniann, Jeff, and Christine began transcribing the oral histories that were recorded with the veterans we have interviewed. Eventually, the audio files, transcriptions, and photographs will be added to NY heritage as a separate collection.

Natalie had a list of various places in Farmingdale that were given to her from a Facebook post. It was three pages long. She went through each place to see if she could ascertain what the address of each place was. If she found it, she added it to the list of addresses for Main, Conklin, or Fulton Streets. She also began going through a website called Bizapedia and the online version of the Observer from the New York State Historical Newspapers website.

After Natalie’s great idea to create the COVID Stories program to get patrons to share their stories with us, Toniann came up with a supplementary idea. Toniann came up with the COVID Time Capsule idea. Toniann’s idea was supplemented even more with Natalie’s idea to add more resources to the list. The COVID Time Capsule will create a full scope of the situation and its effects on Farmingdale, its patrons and its businesses. Natalie and Toniann are working on the time capsule. Information about COVID and Farmingdale is being gathered from a variety of sources including the schools, the Village, the Chamber of Commerce, the Farmingdale Observer, and more. Toniann recruited some of the pages to help us gather this information and Natalie asked staff to collect the physical copies they had of Newsday and the Observer. Toniann received links from a few of the pages consisting of news articles from local resources to be added to the Time Capsule. Toniann organized and filtered the articles and saved PDF versions, as well as links to the sites. Toniann and Natalie also saved screenshots of Facebook posts.

Natalie and Toniann have been trying to find grants to fund to digitize the newspapers that were donated to the library. All the grants that we saw will not fund digitization, or they fund digitization but not the digitization of newspapers. We will continue our search for this!

Readers’ Advisory Board Report Tuesday May 19, 2020 Submitted by Caryn Emde, Rachel Taub, Ying Xing, Toniann Pignataro, Christine McCarthy, and Natalie Korsavidis

The Readers’ Advisory department created and maintains multiple Pinterest boards for the library. Rachel created the master list and updates it every morning. Natalie deleted all the boards from the Young Adult Pinterest page in March and has been creating boards and adding to them. The Youth Services staff is also adding to this page. In April, Christine added boards titled Debut Novels of 2020, Royal Romance and Celebrating Earth Day with Nassau Digital Doorway. Also, Toniann added more ideas to the Pinterest board for families looking to celebrate birthdays during quarantine. Ying added two boards: Get to Know Someone Today and Inspiring Stories.

All of the librarians have been attending webinars and virtual meet-ups to stay informed on upcoming book releases (includes print, audio and eBook formats), other media releases, staying informed on how other libraries are coping with this unique quarantine situation, getting ideas for virtually programming for our patrons, and many other topics. A popular one is Penguin Random House’s weekly Book Buzz webinars where the presenters talk about books they are currently reading, upcoming titles and read-alikes. It looks like everyone in the Readers Advisory department has attended at least one of these! The Nassau Library System has had many webinars that the department has attended as well (topics covered included virtual readers advisory services, social media, programming, and others). Rachel has attended webinars including Newsday’s Coronavirus related webinars about stress, anxiety, and Long Island concerns, database webinars, and webinars for future projects. Natalie has watched a few webinars from various publishers similar to the Book Buzz webinars previously mentioned, and attended a full day conference with children’s and young adult authors called Middle Grade Magic. Ying has attended the webinar series Public Libraries Respond to COVID-19 (topics covered included ways to work remotely, managing stress and anxiety, and innovative solutions in times of crisis), a webinar done by ALA titled IMLS: Mitigating COVID-19 When Managing Paper-Based, Circulating and Other Types of Collections, an online course from WebJunction called Creating Pathway to Civil Legal Justice, and a webinar thru Newsday titled Coping with Coronavirus: A Conversation about Emotional Well-Being.

On April 14th and 28th Rachel held Let’s Dish zoom sessions. Instead of actually cooking and discussing recipes from a book, she discussed with patrons various food topics. Natalie participated in a Coffee Chat program with Caryn, Dana, and Toniann about books they had recently read. Christine participated in the Coffee Chat: Movies and TV with Caryn, Dana, Rachel and Toniann where they discussed movies and shows they have been watching at home. Christine also joined the Coffee Chat: Food with Caryn, Rachel and Ying.

Rachel worked on the first installment of Dolores’s OverDrive cooking project in which I picked a recipe (deviled eggs) from an OverDrive cookbook and took a picture and posted it on Facebook. Patrons can download the books on OverDrive while home.

Rachel and Natalie had research assignments from the library Director. Rachel researched the Covid19 Virus and South Korea, as well as the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918. Information included how South Korea opened their country after the spread of Covid19 and how the United States bounced back after the Spanish Flu. Natalie did research on China and how they were handling reopening their businesses and schools. She found information about how New Orleans reopened after Hurricane Katrina and added that. She also went looking on a Facebook group for thoughts from other libraries. She found a phased opening plan from a library director in Pennsylvania and sent it over to Debbie.

Rachel spoke to Amanda Hurst from Midwest Tapes to discuss their product, Hoopla (soon to be available to patrons). Hoopla is a digital media service that allows you to borrow movies, music, audiobooks, eBooks, comics, and television shows on your computers, tablet, phone and in some cases TV.

The librarians also put together a list of resources of helplines, charities and entertainment resources to be added to the web site. The librarians are manning virtual reference shifts using the Tidio chat widget. They answer any patron questions they get during their shifts and have been noting the questions they are getting.
