ABOUT THE LSA:

  1. If you are NOT a part of the e-rate Consortia and wish to join NOW is the time to contact us for the needed details.  Ken & Susan @ NEILSA
  2. If you apply on your own PLEASE let NEILSA know so you can be included in the list we have for funders to check. NOTE: I have had cities, granting agencies and others call to see if the library is taking advantage of all the funding available to them before the funders considered the library budget request, grant et. al.

THE TRIPOLI PUBLIC LIBRARY is accepting applications for a Library Director to work 15 – 20 hours per week Individual must have strong management, supervisory, computer, Internet usage and excellent oral and written communication skills; 4 year degree in business or MLS required. 5 years library work experience.  Applications may be picked up at the City Clerks office at the Tripoli Town Hall.

FROM: The Ad-Paper Sept. 29, 2005 V 12 No 48 Vanguard Publications Sumner IA

STAFF CHANGES: If you have staff changes PLEASE let the LSA know, this is especially important in the case of the library director/administrator, several libraries have lost funding because the new person did not understand the importance of certain paper work - you KNOW how it is when you first take over.

Amy Parker has announced she is leaving Tripoli to devote her time to Westgate PL.
Congratulations to Kimberly Van Deest  for her appointment as Waterloo PL's new  Network Analyst  we look forward to working with her as part of the Waterloo team.
Good bye to Amy Wang we are so going to miss her skills and presence.

New ‘One-stop Web Shop’ for disability services,  Iowans with disabilities and their families will find it easier to access state services via the Internet. 
The state’s Web site http://www.iowa.gov/state/main/index.html now has a new link, Iowa’s “Disability Agencies,” http://www.iowa.gov/state/main/disabilities.html designed to provide a comprehensive list of services and the agencies that provide those services.   Topics range from accessible parking, education, employment, library materials, telecommunications, housing and independent living centers to state departments and divisions, such as mental retardation and developmental disabilities, vocation rehabilitation, deaf services, and veteran’s affairs. FROM:  Under the Dome a regular message from State Senator Jeff Danielson. 

This fall, Iowa travel enthusiasts can receive updated Iowa fall foliage reports via the Internet and telephone.

Each Monday, the Iowa DNR will update its fall foliage hotline at 515-233-4110, and the Iowa Tourism Office’s Web site -- www.traveliowa.com -- will provide instant access to the same information.
