Click here for flyer with details.

Deadline for LOGO submissions is September 4, 2015.

Send all submissions to Teri Hatred @ SCLS via System Bag.

On October 29, 2014, the SCLA Support Staff Division had its Annual Membership meeting at the Brentwood Public Library. Light refreshments were served at 9:30 and our guest speaker Celia Vollmer, American Red Cross Trainer, began her presentation Disaster Preparedness: Before, During and After. Celia provided detailed information and resources to prepare for, respond to,  and recover from numerous disasters.  One important point was that we need to look out for one another starting with family then neighbors and finally our community.  Gov. Cuomo’s Citizen Preparedness Corps Regional representative, Patrick Beckley, was also at the meeting to answer any questions from attendees after Celia’s presentation.  All attendees left with several handouts and much to think about. 

Our raffle winners were: Catherine Casciola of WISP: the American Red Cross Go-Bag; Stacie Minder of HAUP and Tashi Hamilton of PJEF: mini First Aid Kits.  SSD would like to thank the American Red Cross for donating all the raffle prizes and for the hospitality of Tom Tarantowicz, Director of the Brentwood Public Library and the Brentwood Public Library staff!

On May 21, 2014, SSD sponsored the hands-on training class Introduction to Microsoft ACCESS conducted by Angela from Sharper Training Solutions.

Angela led eighteen participants through the basics and creating databases. Participants picked up shortcuts and tips along the way.  We wish to thank the Suffolk Cooperative Library System for access to its wonderful Training Room so that each participant could have their own  computer to practice the guided exercises.

We will be back in the fall with Intermediate Microsoft ACCESS so check back here and/or watch for our email flyer with details.

The 2014 Long Island Library Conference was very interesting, entertaining and informative. The SSD program, “Workplace Safety in the Library,” was well attended with over 50 attendees. We want to thank Matthew Setteducati of the NYS Public Employee Safety and Health Bureau (PESH) for providing valuable information and resources for the attendees to bring back to their libraries. The audience was very engaged and asked pertinent questions during the presentation.  All the information is available on the PESH website: https://labor.ny.gov/workerprotection/safetyhealth/DOSH_PESH.shtm

The SSD table had numerous visitors during the course of the Conference resulting in all give aways being dispersed! Our lucky winner of the Go Bag & Teddy Bear donated by the American Red Cross was Adele Fitz of the Bay Shore-Brightwaters Public Library. Our thanks go to Celia Vollmer of the Brentwood Public Library for arranging the American Red Cross donation.
