Another opportunity to "just say yes!"

Good afternoon everyone.  I have another exciting opportunity for HPL frontline and support staff to get involved with the Library Card Campaign! 

During the road show I heard the following message loud and clear – we need to do more advertising and really get the word out about all the great things the Library has to offer the community for free.  We should be on TV!

Well, we agree, and on Friday morning (9/12) Dr. Lawson will be a guest on “Great Day Houston” to talk about the new MY LINK Library Card Campaign!

OPPORTUNITY –> We need 30-40 staff members (still waiting to hear back exactly how many tickets we’ll have) decked out in their HPL red shirts to help fill the audience. You’d need to be in the studio from 8-10 am, and the goal is to have all staff back at work by 10:30/10:45 at the latest.  You can do this on work time, but only if you are already scheduled to work during that time.  Unfortunately we cannot offer overtime pay for this. So if you’re scheduled to work on Friday morning from 8-10 am and you want to be a part of this opportunity, you need to first get permission from your supervisor. Once you have secured permission please send me a reply to this email ASAP letting me know you’re ready, willing and able to be an enthusiastic audience member on Friday morning.  We are attempting to secure some vans from Fleet so we can do a few carpools, but you’ll need to be willing to use your own car if necessary.

Please note that I need to hear from you via email by the end of business today if you are interested!  If we have more than 30-40 staff who are interested we’ll do a random drawing and pick names.

Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you no later than the end of business today.
