Duane Strojny writes: “We had a new full-time employee begin last week. It has been seven years since we hired someone completely new to our library staff who hadn’t previously been either part-time with us or had some type of library experience. The task of creating an excellent orientation doesn’t require a lot of hype or production. By keeping things simple and being as organized as possible, you will end up with a happier new employee. Keeping communication open allows for a more seamless transition for having a new person take on tasks that may be essential to the library to have completed in a timely manner.”
