Virtual Staff Day(s) 2021

SALT LAKE COUNTY LIBRARY SPIRIT WEEK

Our 2021 Staff Day activities will be virtual again for 2021, though we are spreading out over 2 days because branches will be open. Check out the lineup below and discuss your schedule with your supervisor to ask about attending the sessions you are most interested in.

Because this is a spirit week (think high school homecoming), we also highly encourage branches and departments to plan team building and training sessions specific to your branch that week. You may consider creating branch cheers, a banner or flag, elect some version of spirit week royalty or nominate staff at your branch as "Most Likely to ___________." We would love to hear about anything you come up with (send an email to viridian@thecountylibrary.org).

*Download fill-able "Most Likely to _____" certificates.

Take an anonymous and very informal survey (ie - how many books did you read last year, what hobby or skill did you pick up during quarantine) to help us get a better feel of who we are as a system. We'll share the results during our Main Session on Tuesday, September 21st.

*Share a bit about yourself in our anonymous survey.

SCHOOL PHOTO SUBMISSIONS

Help us get to know you better through a fun activity looking back at our early years. We're asking for staff to upload a school photo and a current photo along with giving a few facts/hints about yourself. Photos and answers will be revealed in a live Webex which will be recorded for later viewing as well.
