SEPTEMBER - OCTOBER 1967
Where is the ceiling? We're beginning to wonder! 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.
