A desk by any other name - continued...

Thanks to everyone for putting their fantastic, interesting and a few disturbing suggestions up for alternate names for our Desk shifts. Here are the results...
So the winning acronyms are:
  • STAR
  • SMILE
  • PEAS
So please put on your thinking caps and think about which one you like best, and also your ideas for what the letters represent. Here are some examples:

STAR
  • Service, Train, Assist, Roam
  • Support, Teach, Assist, Roam
SMILE
  • Super Magnificent Intelligent Library Experience
  • Support, Motivate, Interact, Learn, Experience
PEAS
  • Patron Experience and Service
  • Positive Experience and Support
So please nominate your favorite and put your suggestions in the Comments. You have until the end of March - so get those creative juices flowing!

I am voting for STAR - Service, Teach, Assist, Roam. It's simple, catchy, not too cheesy, and sums up what we do.

Happy commenting :)

  1. I like 'smile'. I'd never remember what it stood for but like that when you say it or think it you end up doing it - smiling! It's positive and authentic. :-)

  2. I'm a STAR girl. Either of the acronyms work for me as they basically mean the same thing.

    Best wishes,

  3. Feed the staff food and you come up with a lot of creative ideas. I like STAR with the acronym Support Teach Assist Roam. We're the stars of council and our customers know it:)

  4. Haha. Peas shift is hilarious. Sounds like we will be dishing out mushy lunches. I think there was a misinterpretation of our whiteboard scribbles because the initial suggestion was for pod shift or pod person, with the added bonus that then we would then be peas in a pod! Which is kind of cute.
    I like the idea of a pod shift or smile shift. :) Amelia.
