Home My WebLink AboutJanuary 1968January 1968 The library has been typically quiet this Christmas time except for the puppet programs put on by the staff. On the 20th of December, there were well over 100 children and their parents watching the program especially geered to the pre-school children. ~e grades from the parochial school were invited during school hours to see the performance and a show is set for December 27th at lO:OO A. M. Even without the pre-school children and others having seen the progran, an overflow crowd is expected. Around 800 children will have seen the progran. A tape recorder has been purchased and it is a real contribution in children's programs. Preliminary work has been done toward organizing programs for the Senior Citizens. Before anything substantial can be planned, black curtains must be installed on the conference room windows. We anticipate starting the program in February. The librarian is registered for a graduate course in audio-visual for the winter quarter to get ideas for improving our programs. The pre-school sessions for the winter months are already fully sub- scribed. Some of the Thursday morning folks have been asked to transfer to other mornings because 45 pre-schoolers seem too many for one group. We are thinking of again offering art classes for elementary school children during the winter. Paintings by the adult art classes are on display in the library. The final accounting of the year will be furnished at the FebruarY meeting. We hope for a progressive and productive 1968.

Because of this factor it was expected that the i)ubtic library's circulation would decline coilsiderably. The cir- culatioii o£ children's books did decrease sol_lewhat, but the use of adult books increased to the extent that this Ja~cuary's figures are larger th~-u last January's, and February's will be near last years all time high. It is {}ratifying to see the extent of use of the library by adults. The inaugerration of the Senior Citizen's prograill il~i the library was either a great success or near disaster. ~bout twice as ~.ilany ca~.le as were expected~ the coffee pot went dry, the cupcakes were exhausted, said the projector broke do~el in the l~liddle of the last film. However, everyone was content to visit said discuss future programs and proli~ised to come back next ~ioilth, One couple that attended t!ie Senior Citizen's program came back the next week to get more books, brought their daughter to get books, a~d ezirolled their grandchild i~! ~lext fall's pre-sctlool story hour. Since then, the Mrs. JC's sa'inounced a gift of ~85 toward the Senior Citizeii progr~ii ~!d on tile strength of this, a new projector was ordered. A special price was given us on the strength of our frieiid- ship with the ~'~udio Visual supervisor at the high scllool. A tiny £ill~strip projector has been purchased for showing stories to the pre- school ctiildren. Plslis .are underway for the art exhibit durii'ig Library Week. Mr. Rasl-lusseli fro~l tile high school is helpir~g coordiiiate the exhibit. Enough ~loney was received during our csi~ipaign cz! fine delin- quency to more th~ repay our efforts. Also see~iied to make people more coriscious of overdue books. ~e~er ~ome~ & G~e~.,..Garde~ng for be~_~ers ......... . ~'~ter j, Black..,.O~ts 8-15 Zane Grey.. ............................. ~ub!eday & ~. ~7~6 ....
