15:12:52 From nancy grant to Everyone : 94° in Dover-Foxcroft, in the shade 15:13:18 From James Ritter - MSL to Everyone : HAHA! Crazy -- feels like the same in Northport 15:14:08 From Janet McKenney to Everyone : Hot here and my cooling on the heat pump is under performing. We have called to see what's up. the new ones installed last month are super cool. 15:14:37 From Kara Reiman-MSL to Everyone : I refuse to start air conditioning yet. Fans all over the place! 15:14:51 From Lisa Shaw (she/her) to Everyone : Phil has our AC going. :) 15:18:28 From Jared - Maine State Library to Everyone : WOOOO 15:18:29 From Debra Lay to Everyone : Yay! 15:18:33 From Dani, Naples PL to Everyone : YAHOOOOOO!! 15:18:42 From Brenda Lynn Gould to Everyone : Congratulations Janet!!!! 15:18:50 From Amy Levine to Everyone : That's perfect!!!!!!! Congratulations! 15:18:50 From Elaine Bissonnette to Everyone : Woohoo...well deserved!! 15:19:25 From Melissa Olson (she/her/hers) to Everyone : So well deserved. You saved us this year. 15:24:44 From Holly Williams to Everyone : That's great, James! 15:24:55 From Janet McKenney to Everyone : Thanks everyone! 15:27:18 From Courtney Sparks - Freeport to Everyone : James - will these improvements enable a Minerva library patron to place a hold on a MaineCat item if no copies are available? 15:31:33 From Courtney Sparks - Freeport to Everyone : Looking at equity across systems would be good to look at. 15:31:46 From Courtney Sparks - Freeport to Everyone : :) Thanks 15:32:07 From Carver Library to Everyone : It would be really helpful to enable MaineCat holds. For a library using an ARRC, it's hard to get ahold of that one copy that's always checked out. 15:33:39 From Alice Olson to Everyone : About how many ILL's a library has each year, would it make sense to join Maincat? 15:33:40 From Lisa Shaw (she/her) to Everyone : I just emailed you something, James. :D 15:35:06 From Barb Rehmeyer to Janet McKenney(Direct Message) : Janet, I am not sure if this is on your agenda or not - what about reciprocal borrowing program? 15:35:27 From Wendy Boyle to Everyone : I'm interested in alices question also 15:35:42 From Karen Eger to Everyone : I think it makes sense no matter how many ILLS you do as it opens up so much to the patrons. People adore this and it is expensive for a small library but it changes access dramatically. 15:36:27 From Caroline @ Thomaston Public Library to Everyone : Agree with Karen - we joined MILS about 2 years ago and it's been night and day for our patrons. 15:37:10 From Monroe Comm. Library to Everyone : Does it go hand in hand with having VAN service? 15:37:16 From Carver Library to Everyone : With the APIs, would other libraries be able to do reciprocal borrowing? 15:37:30 From Holly Williams to Everyone : Pittsfield joined Minerva 15 years ago and it was the best decision we ever made. 15:37:36 From Barb Rehmeyer to Everyone : We just joined MILS in January 2020. We serve about 2000 patrons. I anyone would like to know figures between before and after please contact me at Liberty Library and I can send you the figures. 15:39:20 From Wendy Boyle to Everyone : Is reciprocal borrowing the same as ME-Finds 15:39:55 From Lisa Shaw (she/her) to Everyone : @Wendy - Reciprocal Borrowing allows any patron from any library to walk in and borrow from any other participating library 15:40:01 From Janet McKenney to Everyone : No - reciprocal Borrowing is for Minerva MILS and URSUS. 15:40:14 From Lisa Shaw (she/her) to Everyone : So it's moving patrons seamlessly between libraries as opposed to materials. 15:40:33 From Wendy Boyle to Everyone : Thank you 15:40:47 From Janet McKenney to Everyone : https://www.maine.gov/msl/libs/reciprocal_borrowing/ 15:42:08 From Lisa Shaw (she/her) to Everyone : James, can you throw your email address into the chat for those who might not have it handy? 15:42:41 From James Jackson Sanborn to Everyone : I can be reached at: james.jacksonsanborn@maineinfonet.org 15:43:45 From Janet McKenney to Everyone : https://www.maine.gov/msl/libs/grant_projects/documents/SurveyResults-PDF.pdf 15:45:44 From Barb Rehmeyer to Everyone : Is the figure we should be looking at is at the end of the row? I only looked at it quickly just now so apologize if already answered. 15:51:39 From Michelle to Everyone : Will the region liaisons be reaching out about this to libraries? 15:51:57 From David Weare to Everyone : VC number? 15:52:17 From David Weare to Everyone : What's a VC number? 15:52:42 From Friend Memorial Library to Janet McKenney(Direct Message) : Thank you Janet! 15:53:44 From Wendy Boyle to Everyone : How do we find out how much money if any aour library would be eligible for 15:55:09 From Lisa Shaw (she/her) to Everyone : Wendy, the regional liaisons will have that information for you very soon. :) 15:55:24 From Wendy Boyle to Everyone : Ok thank you 15:55:34 From Lisa Shaw (she/her) to Everyone : You're very welcome!! 15:57:40 From Lisa Shaw (she/her) to Everyone : https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vaccinated-guidance.html 15:57:49 From Friend Memorial Library to Everyone : Need to leave for Zoom book group...

Love it! 16:01:37 From Courtney Sparks - Freeport to Everyone : I'm still confused as to use of gloves with the public, sanitizing after each shift, etc., but our staff will be fully vaccinated soon so it sounds like we need to make policy/procedure that works for our situation 16:02:01 From Holly Williams to Everyone : Do you get a free tattoo after? 16:02:09 From Lisa Shaw (she/her) to Everyone : Spot on, Courtney! 16:02:11 From Alice Olson to Everyone : We are doing that in Mt V. I think we have found enough to run it. We are looking into whether we can also go to someone who is homebound. 16:02:12 From James Ritter - MSL to Everyone : Surface contamination is weak weak weak… disinfecting is for reassurance only... 16:02:20 From Courtney Sparks - Freeport to Everyone : Exactly, Jamie 16:03:28 From Courtney Sparks - Freeport to Everyone : I have to run - thank you Janet, et al! Enjoy the heat :) 16:03:53 From James Ritter - MSL to Everyone : I do too.
