I Can't Give Up That Easily

I know, I know...

Going from the last post, you would think that I was about to go postal in my library.

Well...I love my library and my work too much to give up that easily.

Last Friday, I proposed 4 different ways to increase circulation and library use and asked permission to begin immediately implementing it. As of the end of the day today, I have yet to hear anything from my supervisor supporting/recognizing receipt/or acknowledgement of the ideas. It’s like pulling teeth, trying to get things done.

Maybe its my ideas. Maybe they are not conducive of my library's mission. I know that my ideas are more suitable for a public library; I still think that they will draw people into the library and maybe increase circulation. Here are my ideas.

1. Send an email out to the building announcing new items bought by the library.
2. Have an African American History Month program in the Library towards the end of February, inviting the entire building.
3. Have a quarterly book discussion meet in the Library.

What do you think? Are these ideas bad?
