Home My WebLink AboutMarch 1966COLUMBIA HEIGHTS PUBLIC LIBRARY MARCH & APRIL 1966 In spite of our enforced additional holiday (blizzard) :r~ March our circulation climbed to an all time high for a school mO~h~ 11~088 Wa8 the amount, one thousand more than a year ago when we also had blizzards~ April ~s figures are a projected 10:OOO~ about 2500 more than last years probably due in part to the fact %hat we have had few days for the children to play o~tside or the women to start their house~ cleaning~ .The increased percentage of adult users is especially pleasing= Our evenings and Saturdays are really busy o The pre-school Story Time has really been successful° Las~ ~ursday there were about 35 little people as well as their mothers° By experimentation and study,:~ we have learned some things theft we hope to incorporate in the program when we have our new facilities~ It may not be practically to try and con~ tinue this program during the summer months but we will cer~ tainly start again in the fall~. We are starting to recruit our teen-age volunteers for summer helping~ If these folks can be trained a few at a time~ it makes for a smoother operation~ We hope to have a social time for the folks that have been so loyal this winter and to introduce new helpers~ Some formal recognition should be made of these folks substantial contribution~ The month of May will be a busy one %~th preparation for the summer reading program~ Talks will be made at all of the grade schools and the Junior High English students will hold classes a~ the library to learn about the books available for their smnmer enjoyment° Practice reading during the sum~er months is emphasized by the teachers and principals° We are anticipating~ with some qualms~ mowing day~ when all the content~ of the present building will be moved to the new construction to make way for the remodeling of the present library~ However~ some of the teachers have offered to bring their students and give a helping hand~ Any and all offers are gladly accepted° This h~ been a very pleasant winter~ and profitable, too: ws hope~ Now if the Twins can only win!
