Upon their return from a honeymoon in Sydney, Australia, and Tasmania, the Cataloging and Acquisitions Services Department celebrated the marriage of Lynne Hayman and Tony Gibbs with cake & beverages.  They also presented the newlyweds with a gift of a picture frame for their wedding photo. The CatalAcq folks found it very "brave" of the groom, a very personable and interesting local author, to come to the library.

The second-floor upgrade project continued to progress as the former Reference Services and Interlibrary Loan offices were carpeted and new office cubicles were built.  At the same time, the Ethnic & Gender Studies Library was also carpeted.  The office "makeover" was fascinating to several of the office inhabitants and they share their photos in the links that follow.

Ergo Tip of the Month

This month's ergo tip is good, basic instruction on properly setting up a computer workstation and taking rest breaks.  It's been seen by most of us, but it is worth going over again and again!  Have a safe month!  The link: http://www2.state.id.us/dhw/hwgd_www/BEHS/ergo_tips.htm
