September 1966's circulation figure was 8,635 and September 1~67 was 104095° 0~t~F, l~ was ~0,~19 and October, 1967 was 14~352, an increase of nearly 6,000 for two months: Some of this increase is due to additio~al use cf the library by the students of ICC and some to the ex~nded programs of the library that enable people to get acquainted ~ith the facilities° The three pre-school story, hours are in full swing° There are about 120 children registered. The attendance ,uattern is over 75%o For Book Week~ l~Ppet plays were produced for the pre-school children and o'~her classes asking to visit the library, It turned out to be an interesting and strenuous week. The puppet stage was constructed by the industrial arts classes under the direction of Mr. Jurkovitch, ~e are especially grateful to him for his expert workmanship. The stage is really workable and an additional feature, por'~able. The Oakwood PTA has requested that the staff provide a program for the November meeting and a play by some o~ the puppe~ club members will ~e a part of the presentation° ~e think that we have licked the dirty carpet problem at least temporarily. The ca,pet was spotted from oil from the street and bids for cleaning it were submitted for over ~400 by the Expert Cleaning Service and for .$275 for Service Master Cleaners. However, Sex-ice Master Cleaners r~com~mended s~u aerosol cleaner called Solvoil that we tried. One of the page girls ~ent around and spot cleaned a few of the spots evenly day when she came in to ~ork~ and in a few ~eeks ~he ~ntir~ carp~ s~cmod cleano ,~e ha~e now purchased a supply of this cleaner and hope to keep the building looking more attractive with this small expenditure of time and money. ~ere is some need for spot cleaning of the walls and maybe we can figure come way to do this without warning the budget. ' Omr future plans call for a holiday puppet show for the children and possibly mnother session of ~he students art classes. Art classes for both adults ~nd childrmn have been held during the Fallo We are looking fo~#~rd ~o attemnting programs for the Senior Citizens during the comi.~g year, but'as yet have not decided on a format. The whole idea is challenging. With the holiday season approaching, we hope to have some time for some badly needed housekeeping chomes during a usually rather quiet time at the .Library. In case we don't get another opportunity, we wish you all a renewing holiday. September AND M~%GAZINES: American Library, Association Book List, .......................................
