The circulation reports show a slight increase over last year at this timex
The Ma~ coun$ waS 8~5~ aa co~par~,.d $o 8508 last year° Several days were
very low due to the tornado and storm _' ~waraings every'Monday evenings We
set another new record on June 7mo The first day after school closed~ 1013
books were taken from the library~~ 802 were used the 'next day° By the end
of the week the shelves in the child~.en.~$, ~epartment were practically bare
and we were desperately reshelving childrea's kooks as soon as they were
re.turned in an effort to have somethi~to 'offer'the ,~l~.~ ,~, .... ~_
.~=..=re. a.u~s who came xn with ~h~e .c~ldren. When we have more space
we xn~end to get a reserve supply 'of child~en,s books to use at this time of
the year° The projected circUlation ~ t. he 'month of June will be over 12000o
We have used most of the money set aside for books this year, and to show
for it we will have about 900 fewer ~bo0ks this year than last~ The non-fiction
collection that needs so much attention: is:also ~he most expensive to select°
One art book msqy cost as much as $2~'06. 'About ten children's books could be
purchased for this amount° Both kt,d~are' necessary. Additional
-- books of
current interest were PUrChased for 'i~e"aduits 'for snmmer reading and we
finally put in an emergency Supply 'of children,s books to help cover the
s~,mmer run° There is a tendency to 'b'~'"0niY fo~ demand instead to complete
a well rounded collection~ "'

gram of volunteer helpers and thought it should be written up for publics=

The Library Science class fr~m the University of Minnesota in Reading Guid=
ance for Adults visited the library the night of the tornado and the results
of observations are bei
Next s~mmer when ther~ is room for such activities we hope to have special
activities such as story hour and boo~ guidance for Jun~ors~
