In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <84FEE59B9425B546B15197E9E6CAAB329AAD1A@ascplmail.akronlibrary.org> The Workhorse "step-van style" vehicles that we have had (2 leased from Penske) have not handled as well as the bus-based Bluebird (probably comparable to the Thomas vehicle) in wind or just for general driving. The Workhorses tend to sway more and a great deal of noise comes through the aluminum body which makes the driving experience unpleasant. The bus is much heavier and more rugged (and more costly which may translate into better quality). Another issue with them is the surprisingly large turning radius (our larger Bluebird is much more maneuverable). When our Workhorse has been in the shop for extended periods, we have used mid-sized Isuzu diesel box trucks from Penske. They are about the same size as the Workhorse but have much better handling so I suspect this issue is just the nature of the Workhorse. Our lease on the Workhorse has just ended and we are switching to the Isuzu.

If Carol Hole were still around I know she would be chiming in at this point because she liked and used tractor-trailers in her service. She and her husband Russ investigated so many different options and were innovators in design of bookmobiles - many of the things we take for granted today were not commonplace when she started. Which is one of the reason's that ABOS gives an award in her name each year at our conference. As mentioned before, I am most familiar with tractor-trailer configuration. Our trailers are basically metal boxes (aluminum) on horse trailers. They have AC and Heat. We have pull down ramps that also serve as door covers. We have tried various kinds heat sources from kerosene in our old classic trailers to electric and propane heat on the new goosenecks. We use the same sort of AC that most bookmobiles use. All of our units are equiped with a 220 shoreline which we use here at the library and at the schools we visit. We also have two generator trucks. These are generators that run on the diesel fuel on our Ford 450 Superduty trucks. We use the generators for our nursing home stops and for any guest appearances we make. These are no frills trailers without many amenities. No frig or microwave etc. We do have ACORE shelving that is adjustable. The reason we do it this way is because we have a shop - a large shop at our library. We can purchase a trailer from a trailer manufacturer ( we use Exiss ( Universal Trailer) but there are many trailer companies out there. Purchase a trailer to our specifications and our shop will "trick" it out so to speak. They will install the carpet, shelving and the desk. We will subcontract out the exterior design. We save money by doing the work ourselves - but this is our tradtion - we have always done it this way. In addition to the trailer, we also have to purchase a dualie truck. There are various kinds, we currently have Ford 450's. You have to make sure the tow truck has the capacity to tow the trailer. I think the biggest advantage of the tractor-trailer set up is that we are rarely off the road with a break down. We have a spare truck. If the truck needs to be fixed or service, we swap a truck and hit the road again. I am attaching a picture of the trailer. -- MaryAnne Marjamaa Manager, Outreach Services St. Louis County Library St. Louis, MO 63131 qamarjamaa at gmail.com 314-994-3300 x 2330 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The Matthews one that we have is much higher, though shorter and is also difficult to drive in the heavy winds. It's very tipsy if we have too many people on one side of the bus when we are parked, so it is more so in the wind. I'm not sure of the wind speeds, but I know our awning is set to shut at 23 MPH which is like a heavy whisper in comparison to some of the winds we have been having. How about sandbags or cinder blocks below, like we used to use up north in the snow to help keep traction, instead they will just keep us on the ground. Smooth sailing... Susan Susan J.

The number one reason that I think we as a group should vote for Molly is that she has championed diversity in hiring, programming and outreach to the underserved. She truly understands the importance of what we do as bookmobile and outreach services library staff. Here are some other reasons to vote for Molly: Broad and deep knowledge of ALA and experience in its governance at all levels; Long record of demonstrated leadership ability and experience; Extensive experience in working with government officials at the local, state, and federal levels; Extensive experience in working with the media, both on and off the record; Long record of promoting ALA's core values (open access, intellectual freedom, and privacy) on the frontlines and through ALA; Built collaboratives across all types of libraries and community organizations. Visit Molly's website http://mollyraphael.org , as you seek to make an informed choice. There you will find complete details about her platform and her career experience and ALA service. You will also read endorsements of Molly's candidacy from many professional colleagues, including ten ALA past presidents from all types of libraries." Molly Raphael has walked the walk for forty years, not just talked the talk during this campaign. The deadline to vote is April 23. You do not need to vote for all 34 Councilor positions, but make sure you vote for Molly. Vote today!

The mall is providing two - $10 gift cards for prizes for our guess how many books we check out in a year, one for children and one for adults.

Here is the scoop: *Open House on the Bookmobile from 11am - 1pm and 2pm - 4pm. *Natick's bookmobile will be parked outside the library garage on the sidewalk. We will have three tables where folks can make mini bookmobiles from all over the states, color bookmobile activity sheets and a place if one wants to share a bookmobile memory either on paper or sharing in an audio format. In addition, I have created a 4 minute video showing highlights of the bookmobile over the last 50+ years. This will be playing on a small photo screen. (Next year, bookmobile service will be 60 years old so we will have a big deal) *Silver Apple Celebrates National Bookmobile Day at 6:30 pm.* The Children's staff will be doing a storytime featuring stories (Don't let the pigeon drive the bus and others), songs and a skit. There will be a craft as well. We will also have a sheet cake at this time. Lastly, the bookmobile staff and helpers will be wearing a specially created NBD T-shirt that the local history librarian, Karol Bartlett has created. It is wicked awesome! It will be a great day!

Handouts included a "Build your own Bookmobile" coloring page, my first "published book" titled "B is for Bookmobile" (with the help of our graphics department!), actual Bookmobile cutout bookmarks, and bubbles! (7 bubbles containers were marked to be awarded a Cat's Meow version of Wayne County's first bookmobile!). I also worked with our graphics specialist to create a timeline that chronicled the history of Bookmobile in Wayne County which began exactly 70 years ago...the best picture is that of Bookmobile staff hauling a huge basket of books through the basement window in the old Carnegie Library building, which was the only method of transporting books to and from the Bookmobile. Also included on the timeline were newspaper articles and other "vintage" pictures that were on file in our genealogy department. We had this printed on a Vinyl banner so it can be used throughout the year as we attend various county-wide events, and it looks great! Everyone who visited checked out books and all were excited to see a Bookmobile for the first time, or re-visit memories from years ago. My own "bookmobile lady", who retired after 40 years of Bookmobile service, even stopped to say hello, and of course, one of the patrons on our vehicle remembered her with a warm hug! That's what we're all about! We plan to continue with our handouts and prize drawing throughout the week at all our stops. My final contribution will be to treat our Administration offices, where Bookmobile Department also rests, to my daughter's amazing homemade cupcakes...all marked with a "B" for Bookmobile of course!

(Our vehicle arrives end of summer). Our staff will be wearing specially created book mobile T-shirts. Life-savers serve as the token for our "rolling to you soon" gimmick and each patron we see on Wednesday will receive a mini Life-savers package tagged with the phrase "WSLD bookmobile -Fall 2010". Also we will be running special "Wheels" story-times and have a craft table set up all day where patrons can color and create their own book mobile (complete with Life-savers wheels). Mini book mobiles will be set up throughout the library. We will also be setting up a book-mobile display with a giant collage of book-mobiles from around the world and information about book mobiles and their history. We're looking forward to having a great day!

Handouts included a "Build your own Bookmobile" coloring page, my first "published book" titled "B is for Bookmobile" (with the help of our graphics department!), actual Bookmobile cutout bookmarks, and bubbles! (7 bubbles containers were marked to be awarded a Cat's Meow version of Wayne County's first bookmobile!). I also worked with our graphics specialist to create a timeline that chronicled the history of Bookmobile in Wayne County which began exactly 70 years ago...the best picture is that of Bookmobile staff hauling a huge basket of books through the basement window in the old Carnegie Library building, which was the only method of transporting books to and from the Bookmobile. Also included on the timeline were newspaper articles and other "vintage" pictures that were on file in our genealogy department. We had this printed on a Vinyl banner so it can be used throughout the year as we attend various county-wide events, and it looks great! Everyone who visited checked out books and all were excited to see a Bookmobile for the first time, or re-visit memories from years ago. My own "bookmobile lady", who retired after 40 years of Bookmobile service, even stopped to say hello, and of course, one of the patrons on our vehicle remembered her with a warm hug! That's what we're all about! We plan to continue with our handouts and prize drawing throughout the week at all our stops. My final contribution will be to treat our Administration offices, where Bookmobile Department also rests, to my daughter's amazing homemade cupcakes...all marked with a "B" for Bookmobile of course!

(Our vehicle arrives end of summer). Our staff will be wearing specially created book mobile T-shirts. Life-savers serve as the token for our "rolling to you soon" gimmick and each patron we see on Wednesday will receive a mini Life-savers package tagged with the phrase "WSLD bookmobile -Fall 2010". Also we will be running special "Wheels" story-times and have a craft table set up all day where patrons can color and create their own book mobile (complete with Life-savers wheels). Mini book mobiles will be set up throughout the library. We will also be setting up a book-mobile display with a giant collage of book-mobiles from around the world and information about book mobiles and their history. We're looking forward to having a great day!

We are located just down the street from the Kohler generator warehouse and manufacturing plant. They donated our original 10kw generator back in 1991, but that one proved to underpowered for our lights, heat, airconditioning and computers. We replaced it with the 15kw about 10 years ago (also donated) and we are very pleased with its performance. Our service garage is familiar with Kohler generators and does all the maintenance on it when we bring the vehicle in for maintenance. Since we are right next door to the Kohler corporate headquarters, we didn't consider any other generator. David David Weinhold, Director Eastern Shores Library System 4632 S.

We'll have our very own Children's Bookmobile on hand, and we'll be joined by Tom Corwin and his vintage bookmobile. City Librarian Luis Herrera will kick off the festivities with a few words and San Francisco Board of Supervisors President David Chiu will speak, as well. Dona Bero, Director of the Friends of the San Francisco Public Library will speak and then Tom Corwin will say a few words about his project. A musician, author, music and documentary producer, Tom is now working on the multi-media and documentary film project, Behind the Wheel of the Bookmobile. The project follows a classic bookmobile across country with acclaimed authors taking turns at the wheel. Then Boswick the Clown, who has performed with Ringling Brothers and is a graduate of their world famous Ringling Brothers Clown College, will entertain the kids with a 30 minute show, and Children's authors Mac Barnett (Author of Guess Again, #2 on Time Magazine's best children's book of 2009), and Kathryn Otoshi (Author of What Emily Saw) will do storytimes on the bookmobiles to wrap up our event. NBD Stickers, factsheets, and fortune cookies will be on hand for all. Our event is sponsored in part by the Friends of the San Francisco Public Library, American Library Association's (ALA) Office for Literacy and Outreach Services (OLOS), the Association of Bookmobile and Outreach Services (ABOS), and the Association for Rural & Small Libraries (ARSL) (Thanks for the cookies, John!

We opted to spell out BKMs. The top right hand corner shows 2 cookies marked "Oops!" and 2 with smiley faces. We put signs outside of our department to come in for a cookie-the staff has been saying "Happy Bookmobile Day" as they walk away with a cookie. Hope everyone is having a fun day!

Today, April 14, 2010, is the first ever National Bookmobile Day. A collaborative effort between the American Library Association, the Association of Bookmobile & Outreach Services (ABOS), and the Association for Rural and Small Libraries (ARSL), National Bookmobile Day celebrates the contributions of our nation's bookmobiles and the dedicated professionals who make quality bookmobile outreach possible in their communities. National Bookmobile Day committee chair Kevin Walsh and Michael Swendrowski, chair of the OLOS Subcommittee on Bookmobiles, have worked with ALA's Office for Literacy and Outreach Services (OLOS), ABOS, and ARSL to develop and implement a communications plan and resources for libraries to use as they plan their nationwide celebrations, including: . An online toolkit, which offers downloadable sample PR materials, fact sheets, talking points, flyers, Spanish-language materials, sticker templates, and logos; . The National Bookmobile Day wiki, which features best practices, programming ideas, and examples of media coverage; . A community on ALA Connect for online collaboration; . Twitter and Facebook accounts for NBD, the latter of which has over 550 "fans" of the event . News releases through ALA News, AL Direct, trade publications and to features editors at daily newspapers (as of April 13, there are almost 100 mentions in Google News of National Bookmobile Day; For more information on National Bookmobile Day, visit www.ala.org/bookmobiles. AND, of course, Happy NLW! I have had the opportunity and pleasure to do radio interviews around the country with DJs about NLW.

One of the schools we go to surprised us with a bright pink banner with all the students names on it. We carried it with us and reattached it to the outside of the bookmobile when we reached out next stop. We will continue to do so until the end of the week, for all to see. We were also surprised when one of the communities gave us a cake! The calla lillys were part of the adult raffle we had. Each adult was given a raffle ticket to win one. We also had a raffle for the children who can win a stuffed animal, dinosaur puzzles amoung other items. We hope all of you had as great of a day as we did.

Since this is a bookmobile list I want those of you who might need to ask an urban bookmobile librarian a question her name too. The librarian on the SF children's bookmobile is Katrin Reimuller. Katrin visits mostly low income and Headstart Daycares. She is an excellent librarian, and is a willing resource for people like me who work in an urban system. We have some really different problems (some the same) as rural libraries.

We'll have our very own Children's Bookmobile on hand, and we'll be joined by Tom Corwin and his vintage bookmobile. City Librarian Luis Herrera will kick off the festivities with a few words and San Francisco Board of Supervisors President David Chiu will speak, as well. Dona Bero, Director of the Friends of the San Francisco Public Library will speak and then Tom Corwin will say a few words about his project. A musician, author, music and documentary producer, Tom is now working on the multi-media and documentary film project, Behind the Wheel of the Bookmobile. The project follows a classic bookmobile across country with acclaimed authors taking turns at the wheel. Then Boswick the Clown, who has performed with Ringling Brothers and is a graduate of their world famous Ringling Brothers Clown College, will entertain the kids with a 30 minute show, and Children's authors Mac Barnett (Author of Guess Again, #2 on Time Magazine's best children's book of 2009), and Kathryn Otoshi (Author of What Emily Saw) will do storytimes on the bookmobiles to wrap up our event. NBD Stickers, factsheets, and fortune cookies will be on hand for all. Our event is sponsored in part by the Friends of the San Francisco Public Library, American Library Association's (ALA) Office for Literacy and Outreach Services (OLOS), the Association of Bookmobile and Outreach Services (ABOS), and the Association for Rural & Small Libraries (ARSL) (Thanks for the cookies, John!

Last year I tried to do the program that was created by my library but it did not work that well on the bus. I am looking for, specifically, ways that children kept track of their books or the minutes they read; how to make it simple for the many children and daycares (and their caregivers) and how to have more children complete the reading program. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

We wanted people to know that we delivered to them and what we supplied. As you will see on the left side of the table are copies of Rose's bookmobile cut out - (thank you Rose for this & the super video), as well as a few photos of Bookmobiles that were at the ABOS 2009 Conference in Everett, just to show they are still out there, and how wonderfully they are decorated. Although the libraries in the Vancouver area, do not have bookmobiles - the last one was taken off the road in West Vancouver in 2008, we still do Outreach Services by delivering directly to our patrons and some libraries do mail out.

We collect the form each time and give the child a new one so we can keep track for our statistics. They also get some small prize, usually a coupon for free food that has been donated by a local business. We have a different one for each time the bookmobile visits. We've given up on giving a reward for completing the program and just offer an entry in a drawing for a big prize at the end whenever a child returns a form. We have 2 separate drawings - 1 for children that are read to and 1 for independent readers. We get very few independent readers to actually follow through and keep track and bring back their forms compared to the number of forms we give out. Our best success has been with daycares that read to their kids. Nearly all participate. The teacher gets one form to use for the whole group. All she has to do is write in the number of children in the group on the front and cross off a symbol for every 15 minutes she reads to the class. We also give the teacher enough blank drawing entries for each child that they can fill out before they return to the bookmobile the next time. All we ask for is child's name and the bookmobile stop. Some places just fill these out once and photocopy them for each subsequent visit. When they return their forms they get enough of the prize coupons to send one home with each child. I explain all this in a short letter that the teachers get at the beginning. We also do a "Guess How Many" contest with items related to the summer reading program theme that we change every time we visit. The kids love that.

We passed out "I love my Bookmobile" stickers, coloring pages, memory pages and pencils at all of our school stops on Wednesday. We also did a fun story time at each school featuring a little bookmobile history, pictures from "My Librarian is a Camel", and read "The Knight and the Dragon" by Tomie DePaolo----featuring the oldest bookmobile ever, from the time of the knights and dragons! In the spirit of Queen Victoria, we extended our celebration to the following day as well and did more story times at our Farmer's Market stop. This time we also added the story "Wild About Books" by Judy Sierra which features librarian Molly McGrew who "by mistake drove her bookmobile into the zoo". The days were great fun---the only drawback being that the kids would really like us to bring our books next time on the back of an elephant like in Thailand. I can only imagine the "duties as needed" part of those librarians job description! Happy weekend to all!

We also had some READ stickers and READ pencils that we give out on special occasions. Our logo includes a compass, so we have some little plastic compasses to pass out as well. I also put an assembled mini-bookmobile on our National Library Week display, on each of the public desks and gave some to the Bookmobile. I added our bookmobile drivers' faces to the front of our mini model; it was a real hit, particularly with the staff! We added a link to the Bookmobiles Rock slide show on our webpage and created one of our own from the photos we have used in the past for our Bookmobile promotions. Check out the Bookmobile page on our website (about half way down) at www.sbpl.info/services/bookmobile.htm where you can also see the route map and schedule I created with Google maps.

Amundsen Communications Specialist ALA Office for Literacy and Outreach Services (312) 280-2140 jamundsen at ala.org NEWS For Immediate Release April 19, 2010 ALA announces American Dream Starts @ your libraryR grant recipients Dollar General Literacy Foundation provides funding for libraries to develop literacy programs for adult English language learners CHICAGO - Seventy public libraries in 21 states have been selected by the American Library Association (ALA) to receive $5,000 grants as part of "The American Dream Starts @ your libraryR" literacy initiative. This initiative is funded by the Dollar General Literacy Foundation. The grant recipients include libraries in large cities and rural towns throughout Dollar General's market area. The grant funds will be used by the libraries to build innovative literacy services for adult English language learners living and working in their communities. The libraries will expand their print and digital literacy collections, offer classes and conversation clubs, develop mobile tech labs and reach out to immigrant organizations. A complete list of the winning libraries is available at www.ala.org/americandream. "The Dollar General Literacy Foundation is proud to join with the ALA to provide grants to libraries that are committed to enhancing their literacy services for those learning to speak English," said Rick Dreiling, Dollar General's chairman and CEO. "These specialized programs and services will help so many achieve their own dreams of success in America." For more than a century, public libraries have been a cornerstone of the American Dream, providing equal access to information of all kinds. Libraries are among the first American institutions immigrants turn to for help in learning how to read, write and speak English. Libraries are uniquely positioned to help immigrants adapt to a new culture and connect with their new communities. " The American Dream Starts @ your library serves 70 communities, reaches thousands of adults, and helps libraries change lives across generations." said Dr. Camila Alire, ALA 2009-2010 President. " The American Library Association deeply appreciates Dollar General's generous support and applauds their vision for a more literate America." The 2005 National Assessment of Adult Literacy (NAAL) found that 11 million US adults - about one in 20 - have such limited English skills that they can't read a newspaper, understand the directions for medication, or help their children with schoolwork. Recent immigrants account for most of this group. To meet this need, ALA and the Dollar General Literacy Foundation joined together to start "The American Dream Starts @ your libraryR" literacy initiative. About the ALA The American Library Association is the oldest and largest library association in the world, with more than 63,000 members. Its mission is to promote the highest quality library and information services and public access to information. About Dollar General Dollar General is a leading discount retailer with more than 8,800 neighborhood stores. Dollar General stores provide convenience and value to customers by offering consumable basic items such as food, snacks, health and beauty aids and cleaning supplies, as well as basic apparel, house wares and seasonal items at everyday low prices. The company has a longstanding tradition of supporting literacy and education. Since its inception in 1993, the Dollar General Literacy Foundation has awarded more than $40 million in grants to nonprofit organizations, helping more than 2.1 million individuals take their first steps toward literacy, a general education diploma or English proficiency.

They don't have to take the bag to the post office, the mail carrier picks it up. We have had a few problems with carriers not understanding that they had to do this, but a quick call to the local post master has always taken care of the situation. As for who is eligible, our procedure reads: "This program is available to residents of the library district who are not able to come to the library because of illness, disability or advanced age. This program is also available to a full-time caregiver of someone who is homebound." We have not had a problem with abuse of the privilege. Sometimes a homebound person is out for a doctor's appt. or something, and would like to pick out their own material for once, as they used to. Unless the individual does this frequently, we still consider them homebound. Also some people have conditions that ebb and flow, and in their good periods, they call to say that they don't need delivery, but then when they relapse, they call for service again. So much is a judgement call and depends on trust in the patron's truthfulness. The only thing we require a professional's signature for, is the free mailing program, underwritten by the Library of Congress. For people who do not have a visual disability, the library pays the postage both ways.

The unaccompanied part, the language barrier, the comprehension, or the fact that their hygiene might not have been the best? Or maybe it's the issue of "bringing the books back?" I'm not trying to be difficult, but they all seem to be different issues! All of our bookmobile stops are in low-income neighborhoods, and most of them are also Housing Authority sites. Although this may or may not be a factor in the types of children that visit the bookmobile, many of our kiddos have a bit of an odor, crazy hair, sores, no shoes, no shirt, etc. In addition, we see quite a few children on a daily basis that could use a lesson in comprehension skills. What is it exactly that you want to do in this particular case, or what are you thinking you should have done?

The "filthy" - well, is there a cultural issue at play here? Is it just their clothes? Did it look like they had been simply been playing in the dirt? Was it a body odor issue, clothes issue..... The "unaccompanied" - in this case, I would see this as a good thing, to be honest. In many of our low-income neighborhoods, I have never met the parents of the children..... they are often single-parent families, or both or one of the parents are at work, Or Dad or Mom is in jail or "too high to leave the house," as I have heard more than once.... To me, if a child comes on the bookmobile by himself, it means he "wanted to." That's a good thing, in my opinion! The "comprehension and poor vocabulary skills" - again, is this a cultural or perhaps a nationality issue? Maybe there is an issue with a learning disability? Are the staff members at your location qualified to make such assessments, and/or offer training/education? Would you want to pursue this to that degree? I guess what it boils down to is the qualifications of your staff to make judgments on the welfare of the child. I believe, in this case, the neighbor who "clammed up" did the right thing. The issue of privacy is a big one for me, and I don't believe that I would approve of an employee asking someone else about the personal life of a patron. I understand the desire to contact an authority in a case where it looks as if the child is in danger. However, given the information you presented, I'm not sure if this would be enough. Am I coming across as too "hard?" I know, I know, perhaps I am. I'm just not sure that this case warrants continued investigation, (or any investigation at all, for that matter) if that is what you are requesting advice on. If you are simply wanting advice on how to communicate to the child that the book needs to come back - well then, all my thought on this are garbage. :) If a child made it to the bookmobile on his own, and wanted a book, should we be delighted - or concerned that the "discarded reader" will not come back? Is the employee considering making a card for them? In this case, I would say the discarded book is a great way to test the child - if they bring the book back, then they are rewarded with a card, or perhaps "2 readers" from the discarded pile, and so on until a card can be granted. We offer "free books" to children who are unable to receive cards for whatever reason (didn't return books, Mom will not sign the application, I live with my sister and she's not my legal guardian and she's also in jail right now so she can't sign the app, too young to understand, etc...) In addition, first-time cardholders are given a choice of two items, and when these are successfully returned, they are "rewarded" with a higher number of checkouts and a free "bookmobile tote" to carry their books in and a plastic case for their card to clip on their new tote. Nonetheless, this is an interesting discussion! I enjoy this type of issue.

We developed a "trading box" from our discarded children's books (mostly paperbacks & also donations), because we really hated to see any child leave without a book, especially if they were interested and had no responsible person to sign them up or check out for them. It was treated as a learning experience, teaching children the concept of library books and bringing them back. If a child was unable to check out (for any reason) they were allowed to pick out one book from the trading box. They were given a date due slip and told when they brought that book back on the next visit they could check out 2 books from the trading box. When they brought the two books back, they could check out 3 books from the trading box. Three books was the maximum checkout. If they never brought the books back, they were still allowed to get 1 book each time. We were ever optimistic as long as we had books in the trading box! We had many successful kids who got up to the 3 book maximum. Since they were discarded books and donations, we didn't have to worry if they didn't come back in a timely manner. It became a positive library experience for the children without the fear of fines, bills, upset librarians, or upset parents. Hope this helps. Calvert Calvert H.

I really could use some advice. I have an adult patron who I deliver to that lives in a filthy and deteriorating home. She has macular degeneration. There is food debris all over the floor and disorder everywhere. There are other family members but I don't know where they live with the exception of the sister she lives with. This sister goes out to work. I have often wondered if I should be contacting an agency to get her some help. It would be obvious that I am the one calling.

They can also give you some advice on how to deal with the situation without breaking patron privacy. It could be that the sister is just unaware of some of the resources out there to help in this sort of situation? Good luck--these situations are hard to navigate.

If one of our staff calls Gatekeepers, they then investigate and connect the person with support and help, if the person is willing. This is a program of our county Aging and Disability Services, which is our Area Agency on Aging. Maybe this is the one for Boise: http://www.sageidaho.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=senior.main - they might be able to advise you. Our staff probably calls Gatekeepers once or twice a year, at most, and while we don't always get to know the end of the story, it offers some peace of mind to know that we have taken a step towards improving the situation.

We serve many locations that are "less than perfect." Quite a number of our nursing homes and assisted living centers make me cringe, and many of the public housing and private residences that we have volunteers or staff members deliver to are similar to what you describe. In this case, it seems that you are aware of several facts surrounding the issue outside of what you can easily observe - the family members not involved, the sister she lives with, etc. It is unfortunate, when something like this comes to your attention, that we are NOT social workers. I have a big heart, and I always want to be the first one to help out in such a circumstance. Just last week, at one of our more "risky" locations, I was surprised as the elevator doors opened to see a man, heavily intoxicated, passed out on the floor in front of the doors. I had to step over him to get out of the elevators. After I assessed the situation and decided that, no, he wasn't dead, I figured I would let him sleep for the time being. Maybe he was just tired, eh? :) ( I notified someone in the office as I left that he might need some assistance at some point.) As Cindy pointed out, I would also contact the local Area Agency on Aging, or Senior Services, in your area. I wouldn't put them in direct contact, most likely, but I would perhaps collect information for the family or sister to look at so that they might be made aware of the services that are available to them. In addition, they might be able to offer advice on how to deal with the issue from professionals who are used to dealing with such circumstances. For many among the aged population, seeking assistance is difficult simply because they don't know where to start, and are embarrassed to ask for help. If you decide for a more direct approach, you have to be sly about it - while making the delivery, perhaps mention that "I was just at the Senior Services Day Center, and was amazed at all the organizations and services that they provide to seniors - do you know anything about them? No? Hey, I have a brochure right here, and plenty in my car - you can have this one." Or perhaps just add a Guide in their delivery as a service to "all patrons." We have what is referred to as a "Vintage Guide" here, a directory put together by Senior Services with everything available for seniors with contact info. Given that, some people will get defensive, and are offended when such services are offered, as if they perfectly fine the way they are, and it's nobody's business but their own how they live. We have a few patrons that I KNOW would react in this manner. So good luck!

I will grab a senior directory and throw it in her bag. She has misplaced materials before due to burying them in her mess. But nothing has been bug infested. Since every time I go I can see that she is trying to sort through things, I think she doesn't want to live in disarray. The mailbox has her sister's last name on it so I suspect she is the owner of the house. I also serve one of this woman's friends. They always ask after each other and exchange books. I may approach this friend and ask her some discreet questions. I'll definitely mull that step over before I do it. I'll do the same before contacting the Council on Aging.
