Report July-August, 1968
The circulation totals this summer ~re slightly under last summer's. However,
the figure for July was still over 14,000 and August will be about the same, This
is an average of about .640 books a day, It is possible that the schools' greatly
enlarged summer school program may have something to do with the over-~ll total,
~e had been expecting an increase because we seemed busier and our p~ograms were so
well received,
Anoka County Library Board has been making some overtures toward pmying the
Columbia Heights Library so that Fridlcy residents could use this library. Already
Fridley residents who attend Columbia Hei~ ghts schools are using the library. If
some terms could be reached it migent be possible to ser~e this community, too, with-
out too muoh additional expense. The Columbia Heights residents would also be al-
lowed the use of the Anoka County Library,
The possibility of joining a film circuit is being investigated, This would
supply the library with 16 mm. films to be circulated on a rental basis. There
seems to be some demand for this sort of service,
Some phone discs have been reGeived ~s gifts and are being processed for cir-
culation.
Art classes were held at the library for the folks who subscribed to the
course, nn Open House was held for the parents of the students and gave them an
opportunity to view the work and get acquainted with the library.
The bright spot in the libr~ry life is the Senior Citizens day. Th~ staff
hopes to be of more service to this age group,
The Puppet Club is finally come to fruition and some puppet shows will be held
on the first two Saturd<~ys that sGhool is open.
It has be.~n a busy happy summer and now we're lining up progr:~ms for the mo-
thers of the pre-school story hour folks who will be visiting us during the fall
and winter,
