The list is finished!

Sarah finished our list today bringing our number for December to a very nice 930.
We start new in January :)

Faster than a speeding bullet

Sarah Morrison is working her last few hours and to give her a break from weeding I asked if she'd like to do some Author Alert. 202 holds later our total is 615. Carrie, I noticed that your plum posting was plum colored. Nice touch!

Plum Spooky is Plum Finished!

New total holds: 413

PLUM SPOOKY

I discovered this title just as we were closing. I placed some holds and put the printout in the drawer. I hope someone can finish. I won't be in until Tuesday.
At this point our number is 319

Tuesday December 23 - total 285

New Numbers...

256 as of 12/20/08

We Have a New Report!!

Today Nola and I officially received the NEW Author Alert report! This list includes all new books that have come in ONLY by authors on the Author Alert list! It's amazing! It's only 3 pages long!

We may need to make adjustments as we go along...but at least we're now officially in business!

We even printed up a novelty version with really tiny font that fits entirely on one page! Ask Nola to see it! :)

December 11th

From the last cart I have added 1 more hold.

Total now 250.

Cherry Adair

I noticed a Cherry Adair book on the new cart. Thought we had patrons who wanted this author.
I placed 3 holds on Night Shadow. That makes our total 249.

TOTAL - 246

Finally, finally I know...I placed 232 holds and when you add that to the 14 already placed we now have placed 246 holds for this month of December... Pretty good for really a down month.

Harry Turtledove

A couple of rush carts came down today and I printed them so we can be sure we have holds on those titles. A Harry Turtledove title United States of Atlantis came down not rush but I remembered he was on our list so I placed two holds. That brings me up to 14 plus the holds Shawn has placed. How about an update?

LP books and others

When carts come down with LP books I always check the list of LP authors. I don't think these books show up as easily in the list in the white notebook. It's easy to grab the book and place the holds as the carts come down.
There was also a James Grippando book Born to Run that had no holds so I placed those holds.
'
So I placed 12 holds, how many did you place Shawn? Let's keep the running total on the blog so it's easy to update anywhere.

Whoopeee!!

This is so exciting...I really think AA is a valuable service and it would be nice if we felt like we were really not missing anything. We shall overcome..... I know sometimes we think computers can do anything (magic) but I have faith.... You Go Girls!
