Brather Public Library, Staff Chat
Clifton Sanders [10:19 A.M.]
Hey, Amanda and Jeffrey. I'm going through the comment cards that we got from book club participants this past week, and there's an issue I think you should know about.
Amanda Thomas [10:20 A.M.]
What is it, Clifton?
Clifton Sanders [10:22 A.M.]
More than half of the participants of the Classics Club wrote something like, "The leader isn't doing a good job of moderating the discussion." It seems that Sabrina-the leader of that group- lets one of the participants talk too much.
Amanda Thomas [10:23 A.M.]
Ah, yes, that's the group that Doyle is in this year. He's one of the library's regular book club participants, and he tends to dominate the conversation if the leader isn't assertive.
Jeffrey Shim [10:24 A.M.]
Oh, Doyle! It's too bad that Sabrina has to deal with him her first time leading a club.
Clifton Sanders [10:25 A.M.]
Should I just give her a summary of the feedback as usual, or does this require some kind of special response?
Amanda Thomas [10:26 A.M.]
We should do something about it. I'll sit down with her and give her some tips for balancing the participants' contributions better. But I need to run to a meeting right now. Is there anything else, Clifton?
Jeffrey Shim [10:27 A.M.]
I have a pretty good relationship with Sabrina, and I've had to lead a group with Doyle in it before. Maybe I should be the one to speak with her.
Amanda Thomas [10:28 A.M.]
Sure, Jeffrey. That sounds good.
Clifton Sanders [10:29 A.M.]
Thanks, Jeffrey. OK, talk to you both later.

To Whom It May Concern:
I recently stayed at Montara Campground for one week. Although the site itself was lovely, I was disappointed with the amenities for motor homes. From the second day of our stay until the end of the week, the-electricity for our campsite didn't work. Because of this, I believe we should only be charged the rate for motor home sites without water and electricity, and I'd like the difference to be sent back to me. The park ranger on duty, Chet Rinehart, was very kind, and he gave me this e-mail address so that I could get in touch with someone to help me. You can reach me by replying to this e-mail.
Thank you,
Shannon Kohl
