Considering a VA is an independent worker. Business owners can spend on something other than leave credits and benefits like a regular employee receives.

2. Saves time

Most of the VAs have experience in their expertise. This means that you can skip training. They know what to do and have the knowledge and skills to impact your business growth. And since VAs are remote workers, they know how to manage their time and tasks well. On top of that, a Virtual Assistant can multitask while ensuring quality outputs.

3. Proper tasks delegation

When you outsource, you are delegating tasks effectively. Why is that so? As your business is continuously growing, tasks are also increasing. In that case, you need to leverage a Virtual Assistant’s abilities in coping with duties. Similarly, your office employees can focus on their tasks, and you, as the owner, will focus on and prioritize core duties.

The Moreno Valley Public Library presents a new what to borrow the books you want...fast!  

What is ZipBooks?  

Zipbooks is a grant funded program from the California State library that allows libraries to get books directly through Amazon instead of purchasing through the library’s usual book vendors. 

Why would I request a ZipBook?

If the library does not own a copy of the book you are looking for, or if our copy has been reported lost, you can request a zipbooks order.  This will allow library staff to see if the item qualifies for purchase, put the request in, and have the item sent straight to your door in a matter of days.  

Is the book mine to keep?

A Zipbook item belongs to the library.  If a successful request is confirmed, the item is checked out to the patrons account and is treated like any other material borrowed from the library. It will be due back in two weeks (though with the normal 3 possible renewals) and is subject to the same late fees and fines as all of the other books owned by the Moreno Valley Public Library.

How do I make a request?

If you have a valid, current library card in good standing, you can visit the webiste here: moval.org/mv-library/zipbooks to place your request.  A member of the Moreno Valley Public Library ZipBooks team will contact you through email to let you know if the order has been placed or why we could not place your order at this time. 

What if I have more questions?

You can visit the Moreno Valley Public Library’s ZipBook page here: moval.org/mv-library/zipbooks for more information or you can call any of the three Moreno Valley Public Libraries at the numbers listed:

Main Library: 951.413.3880

Iris Plaza Branch Library: 951.413.3670

Towngate Mall Branch Library 951.413.3761

Recent Reads

I'm not usually one for monthly wrapups or whatever – if i think a book is good, i'll recommend it; if i think i a book is bad i'll yell about it. most of my reads are middling so it's unworth it. but february was a struggle month so i figured i'd commemorate what i did indeed read cuz it feels like a read nothing and that is false. i haven't done any Official Storygraph reviews yet so instead of forgetting the entire experience, i thought i'd document it here in the meantime.

What's Your Vibe by Kat Majik: Milo is demisexual and works in a sex shop; Stevie is bisexual, agoraphobic, and a sex shop customer; the two negotiate a relationship while feeling out the edges of their own identities.

Best book I read this year so far. Cute fluffy romance with a queer friends group and without shying from the scrutiny (including self-inflicted) that demisexual & bisexual people handle on the regular. as a demi bisexual semi-agoraphobic, this spoke to me. Also, iirc, there was no sex in this, which was so deeply refreshing. the inciting incident is that the demisexual character experiences immediate physical attraction and has a bit of a crisis. were this not written by a demisexual, the focus would be on milo exploring sexual experiences, but it simply was not. as a nearly 30yo virgin, reading a book featuring a 30yo virgin was, to be frank, healing.

this is also the book i made a vaguepost about while i was reading it cuz i am lowkey afraid the author may find me through such vagueposts.

When You Get the Chance by Tom Ryan and Robin Stevenson: Cousins Mark and Talia – both gay – find themselves in Ontario on pride weekend and take a spontaneous road trip to Vancouver pride.

This was my zipbook for the month (if you're in california, ask me about libraries' zipbook programs!), and ngl, I regretted it a little bit. This was pitched to me as a cousin/bff road trip and that is absolutely not the story here. This is a family drama centering on the queer teens of the family. It was clearly a hand-off where one author wrote each pov. The plot is strange and pointless. It is absolutely not a road trip book. Nothing interesting happens, glad i got it thru the library instead of buying it myself.

Chopsticks by Jessica Anthony and Rodrigo Corral: Teenage piano prodigy Glory has gone missing from inpatient care, where she was admitted after uncontrollably playing Chopin's Chopsticks.

this was in the free bins at work and i found it intriguing. it was published in 2013 which i think is its downfall. the format is cool and innovative. it's like a graphic novel, but using photography and mixed media (like newspaper articles & report cards). the beginning implies a sorta mystery/thriller/missing person story, but it's more of a (traditional, played-out) romeo & juliet deal. i think it could've been produced today and it would've been way more interesting and better executed, given the general popularity of and respect for graphic novels in general.

Paper Girls, Vol. 6 by Brian K. Vaughn: With the girls split across the timestream, they must survive, find their way back to each other, and return home in one piece.

I powered through this in january and i gotta say, it's nothing special. the timeline got predictably confusing, but the narrative doesn't do anything to help you with it. i was also disappointed in the ending even though it wasnt as hopeless as it couldve been. still disappointing in general. i've also seen this on "good sapphic rep" lists and i'm not sure i'd agree with that. ngl, i think i've already forgotten most of the series, let alone what happened in which volume.

A Little Bit Country by Brian D. Kennedy: Emmett wants a career as an openly gay country singer, and his first step is performing at a country superstar's amusement park; Luke was brought up hating country music, but his concerns over his mother's illness lead him to reluctantly take a job at the amusement park.

This was pleasantly better than i expected it to be. i thought it struck a perfect balance between pride & the gravitas of coming out, big dreams of stardom and small dreams of the future, young love and adult themes, and ultimately, realism & camp. there was a clear dolly parton insert character here, and yes, the characters meet her in person. but honestly, bc it's balanced with some southern-style casual homophobia, it didn't feel too outlandish for me. the fact that this book remained steadfastly YA while not shying from discussing things like terminal illness & coming out in the south really impressed me.

Alanna: The First Adventure by Tamora Pierce: Alanna of Trebond steals her twin brother's knighthood commission, disguising her gender, and uses her powerful healing to help her fellow knight, the prince.

i started this series (of series) in junior high and never finished it cuz it wasn't published yet lol. i've always wanted to revisit it so i finally began again and i gotta say. i had thought i'd forgotten most of what happened but no; not much happens at all in this book. the prince got sick and i was like aw hell yeah the story's getting started and then it was over. that was the climax. thank goodness it's in audio now cuz idk if i'd have the patience to reread the series otherwise.

Tea Leaves by Jacob Budenz: A collection of queer short stories leaning into the witchy, the horror, and the speculative.

I was so hoping this one would be a success, but it fell apart pretty quickly for me. Mostly, the stories just drag on far too long. There are promising premises and the writing style isn't untenable, but almost every story needed a heavy editing hand.

The Lawrence Brown Affair by Cat Sebastian: An agoraphobic inventor hires a new secretary and finds himself falling in love, not least because this secretary helps him cultivate a relationship with his young son.

I found myself moderately invested in this one. i liked the couple, but wasnt rly invested in the characters on their own outside of the relationship. this also felt a little piecemeal plotwise. single dads are in my tropebox but that doesnt rly come up until 60%ish. so far, i've largely preferred sebastian's sedgewicks series over the turner series.

Mister Invincible: Local Hero by Pascal Jousselin: Mister Invincible is the only true comic book superhero – his powers allow him to use the format of comics themselves to save the day.

This was a very cute read! It read just like a sunday comics strip, like beadle bailey or garfield, but elevated to an deliberately meta level. I picked it from a branch of my library knwon for artsy books and this one fulfilled.

Beneath the Sugar Sky (Wayward Children #3) by Seanan McGuire: Everything has returned to normal at Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children after the twins escaped; until a dissolving girl falls from the sky, demanding to see her mother Sumi – who is a recently murdered teenager.

I've seen this one talked about mostly as the most disappointing of the series - it's fine, but ppl tend to agree its the weakest. after i tricked my own damn self into disappointment with the previous one, i found this a delight! i especially loved that we visited multiple worlds.

Rizzio by Denise Mina: On the evening of March 9th, 1566, a conspiracy to assassinate David Rizzio, private secretary of Mary, Queen of Scots, took place.

I likely would not have been as disappointed had i known any specifics about this piece of history going in. i expected some espionage, a focus on rizzio as a main character. instead, he was dead by page 20, and the rest of the book sprawled on, debating how mary could keep her crown. had that been the book that was pitched to me, i likely wouldve still picked it up! but i wouldve had more accurate expectations.

Bloody Jack by LA Meyer: Orphan Mary Faber finds herself aboard a ship of Queen VIctoria's British navy, masquerading as a boy – Jacky.

I've been wanting to get through this series since junior high and after rereading this one... i remember exactly why i never did. its the driest piece of historical fiction wrapped in a difficult accent. most disappointing now is how tragically heterosexual it is. i dont need every genderbend story to be explicitly about transness but it does seem weird if its never addressed; and I'd also prefer if 15yos weren't swearing marriage vows ngl. I'm gonna read the second book, but i may throw in the towel after that.

Ask your local library if they have a ZipBooks Program or an equivalent! ZipBooks is a grant program for adding to your library's catalog. If your library doesn't have a book, but they do offer this program, you may be able to read it at no cost. This also means that the book will be added to the catalog, in most cases, so you are directly impacting your local community!

[mayakern]

I'm a librarian so I'll put in my two cents about that library rejecting the book! Some libraries only purchase books from a specific vendor and can't get a book if that vendor doesn't carry it. Others have specific policies that exclude self-published books. My library has recently started using a program called Zipbooks, which allows us to purchase patron requests through Amazon. Before that, I was not really supposed to purchase outside of our main vendor (though I was able to make exceptions occasionally.)

ohhhh that’s really interesting, thank you for the information! do you know what the process is for a library to get started with zipbooks and if that’s something people are able to request of their library if they don’t already use it?

If they see any discrepancies they can contact you. This will give them peace of mind that you are sticking to your side of the contract. This type of software can provide your client with charts, graphs, and other types of easy to interpret graphics that will let the client know up-to-the-minute information on how their project is coming along, and can also show them the costs associated with their project so far.

Otherwise, the phones will start ringing again, as clients will want to know exactly what they are being billed for and why. Write something clear such as “20 hours labor”. For example, don't put “20wh” for 20 hours worked. You want your invoice to be as straightforward as possible so your clients know exactly what they are paying for. Use Clear Language On Your Invoicesĭon't use in-house or industry jargon on your invoices. Making sure that there are no ambiguities in your billing process can save you time and a lot of hassle. Otherwise, you might not avoid angry phone calls and emails. It might be wise to have them sign a contract page to be certain that they understand the terms of working with you. If you don't actually speak to your clients, ensure that the information is clear on your invoice. Ensure that they know how long they have to pay their invoice before late fees are incurred, and how late fees are assessed. Provide them with your fee, along with the terms for fees such as late payment penalties, down payment terms or installment payment terms. You want it to be crystal clear with your clients as to exactly what they are paying for when they use your services. Here are five tips for resolving billing problems that may come up with clients, and how you can gracefully handle one of the toughest parts of running a business. For businesses that deal directly with clients, this brings up the sometimes uncomfortable subject of asking them for money and actually having them pay it. Whether you are a lone freelancer or manager of many, money is what keeps you going. Categories Customer Experience Share: 5 Tips for Solving Billing Problems with Clients
