What have you done in your library to manage attendance, both ahead of time (i.e. giving out tickets to ‘reserve’ a space) and the day of (i.e. lines, turning people away etc.) I’m already getting calls from people who are interested and don’t want to get shut out, but frankly we’ve never managed sign-ups for anything larger than groups of 20 people or so. Now that I have written this and jinxed the event, we will have about 10 show up…now I’ve done it. Well, if you have any good ideas, please write to me and share them anyway. There are always future events I have not jinxed yet.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thank you for your help!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Mo<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>PS We don’t have a meeting room so these events are after hours. We have to close the library to get set up, people have to wait outside for that to happen, and we do not offer library service during the program as that would interrupt the program. Not ideal. Just so you have the big picture…<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><table class=MsoNormalTable border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=438 style='width:262.5pt;border:none;border-top:solid windowtext 1.0pt'><tr><td width=133 valign=top style='width:79.5pt;border:none;padding:3.75pt 3.75pt 3.75pt 3.75pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:115%'><span style='color:black'> </span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;line-height:115%;color:#1F497D'><img width=96 height=140 id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.jpg@01CDFE3A.5EABAD40" alt="cid:image001.jpg@01C9ADFB.2325B4C0"></span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%'><o:p></o:p></span></p></td><td valign=top style='border:none;padding:3.75pt 3.75pt 3.75pt 3.75pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:115%'><b><i><span style='color:#002060'>Maureen Cole</span></i></b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:115%'><b><i><span style='font-size:9.0pt;line-height:115%;color:#1F497D'><a href="mailto:mcole@ci.oregon-city.or.us" target="_blank"><span style='line-height:115%;color:blue'>mcole@orcity.org</span></a> </span></i></b><b><i><span style='font-size:9.0pt;line-height:115%;color:#002060'> </span></i></b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:115%'><b><i><span style='font-size:9.0pt;line-height:115%;color:#002060'>Library Director<br>Oregon City Public Library<br>606 John Adams Street<br>Oregon City, Oregon 97045<br>503-657-8269 ext 1010<br>503-657-3702 Fax</span></i></b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%'><o:p></o:p></span></p></td></tr></table><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:#002060'>Website:</span></b><b><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:#1F497D'> <a href="http://www.orcity.org/library"><span style='color:blue'>www.orcity.org/library</span></a></span></b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:7.5pt'>PUBLIC RECORDS LAW DISCLOSURE: </span></i><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:7.5pt'>This e-mail is subject to the State Retention Schedule and may be made available to the public.</span></i><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
