Having Fun at the Library

You may have noticed that on Fridays the staff are all similarly dressed. If you haven't maybe you haven't been in on a Friday or it was one of our less coordinated days. We have started Fun Shirt Friday. A way to build staff morale and have a little simple fun while on the job.

The first Friday was bright shirt day and blue jeans. Then we had blue shirt day and school shirt day. It was suggested by staff that for the Spartans vs. Barbs Cross Town Classic, we should wear the Sycamore colors. I was also asked if I thought that DeKalb Library staff might take up the challenge as well and wear DeKalb colors. I said there was one way to find out. So I emailed Dee Coover, the Director of the DeKalb Public Library, and the answer came back with a resounding yes.

Sycamore Library Staff say Go Spartans!

To add to the excitement, we proposed a little wager with DeKalb Library and took the bet DeKalb proposed a grilled lunch for the winning library. Spartans win, means DeKalb cooks for Sycamore and vice-versa. We accepted the wager. Game on.

Spartans 33  Barbs 21

This past Friday the DeKalb Library staff came over to make good on their debt. Grilling was done in the parking lot . . .

and lunch was served in the meeting room.

We want the Sycamore Public Library to be an enjoyable place for the all of the residents of Sycamore. We know that to make this happen the employees need to be friendly and and helpful. A little Friday fun helps to make everyone happy. How can you not be happy when you have good food, make friends, and create moments of laughter?

Watch for our Fun Shirt Fridays. You never know what we'll decide to wear.
