Jersey City Public Library staff on Wendy Williams,11/9/09

“How YOU doin’?” is the signature greeting of nationally syndicated radio, and now TV personality, Wendy Williams, so Library Director Priscilla Gardner decided to have some fun and recorded a video with some of the administrative staff – all, giving their distinctive versions of, what else?! “How YOU doin’?”

Wendy loved the video, and now the Jersey City Free Public Library will appear live on her show on Monday, November 9th, with all participants introducing Wendy. The Wendy Williams Show originally airs daily (M-F) at 10 a.m. on Fox 5 (WYNY-TV, Channel 5) and is repeated, daily (M-F) at 10 p.m. on My 9 (WWOR-TV, Channel 9) Both television stations are in the New York metro area.Maybe it’s because Wendy Williams is a Jersey Girl and proud of it, or maybe it’s also because of Assistant Library Director Dennis Hayes’ (all-body) rendition (seein’s believin’!) of her question, “How YOU doin’?” that the Jersey City Free Public Library will be featured.

Dan Fitzpatrick, the Associate Producer of The Wendy Williams Show, wrote in an e-mail to Director Gardner that Wendy “LOVED” Dennis Hayes’ take on her query.The Library Director called Miller Assistant Branch Head Jason Sanders to video tape the production on October 20th, with the following participants (in order of saying,“How YOU doin’?”): Library Director Priscilla Gardner; Carolyn Armour, administrative assistant to the Library Director; Carl Shipman, Maintenance; Assistant Library Director Sonia Araujo; Finance Director Wayne Ponder; MIS Head Victor Enriquez; Assistant Library Director Dennis Hayes; and Patricia Dunn of the Business Office.

Watch all participants and the videographer introduce Wendy on The Wendy Williams Show on Monday, November 9th!

FURTHER UPDATES

One of our professors called to find out using the information you shared. Here is the info that he emailed :
“Just called down there to make sure they knew their dates and they said they’re still trying to figure out the nuts and bolts of how they’re going to get the old copies and send out the new ones and that they should have the process solidified by 11.10.”

From LIBREF-L@LISTSERV.KENT.EDULIBREF-L@LISTSERV.KENT.EDU

"After November 2, a link on the APA's website ...(http://apastyle.apa.org/) ...will be available for people with copies to return to click on, and furtheri nstructions will appear on how to return our defective copies.

The representative ... said that there will not be a cost for the shipping, and we may return all copies we wish to have replaced.

A copy of the 2nd printing will be substituted. Still some errors in that printing, from what I understand, but better than the many found in the first one."
