Pioneer Library System

Installation for several new components on the existing HVAC system at Moore Public Library is slated to begin on Tuesday, September 14. The library, located at 225 South Howard in Moore, will be closed September 14 through 17, with plans to resume operations on Saturday, September 18 at 9:00 a.m.

“The City of Moore employees have done an outstanding job in keeping our aging heat and air system up and running during the extremely hot months of summer,” says Lisa Wells, Branch Manager for Moore Public Library. “We have tried to lessen any negative impact for our community and customers by keeping the library open during summer vacation and our summer reading programs. It is just necessary to now implement this much needed repair. We thank our customers for their patience during this time, and apologize for any inconvenience our closing may incur.”

Pioneer Library System and Moore Public Library is proud to welcome a new Business Outreach Coordinator, Jayme Shelton, joining the library staff and team.  Shelton has certainly hit the ground running since he began his official duties in April 2010. Through his efforts, a new Business Resource Center housed inside Moore Public Library, is slated to be open to the public in October. “The purpose of the new center is to gain a centralized location to accommodate the needs of the business community, to assist new business owners, and to introduce the public with information and resources for new business start-ups,” says Jayme Shelton. “The library’s business collection is growing with books, book discussion kits, training kits, databases, and audio materials. Local businesses are always invited to use the library’s meeting rooms, computers, technology equipment, and sign-up employees for computer training sessions.”

One of the main resources already flying off the library’s shelf are Business Training Kits; each kit is complete with a wide range of tools for an organization’s training needs. The kits were created to assist small business owners and non-profit organizations with resources to conduct successful employee trainings. Each kit contains a facilitator’s guide, workbooks for participants, audio and visual aids, DVD’s and CD’s, and an agenda that can be adapted to fit each business’s unique training needs. A variety of topics are available and include interpersonal relations and communication in the workplace, supervisory and leadership skills, teamwork, creativity, ethics, and customer service.
