About 1,160 books went out, 100 enrolled for the reading club, 82 for the story hours, and 40 for the puppet club. The library is also sponsoring a self-sustaining art class that meet son Monday evenings. The students pay tuition that supplies the teacher and equipment. The mew signs are up on the lamp posts outside. The stainless steel was furnished by Mr. LaFeber and the work by Mr. Terry and the metal working class at the High School. The restaining of the exterior of the building was let to the lowest bid of $460.00. Some of the interior walls need washing and the carpet needs cleaning. The contract cleaner who started out so hopefully with expert women cleaners has deteriorated to the usual sloppy job of on again off again employees. All the persuasion possible has not convinced him of a better wax that does not powder off on the carpets. The book drop is again a summer problem and there may have to be a bin constructed under the drop. As it is, someone must come down and empty it every day the library is closed. The director of the Minneapolis Public Library has been in touch by letter and he is hopeful of convincing his board of a reciprocal agreement with the Columbia Heights Library. We should know soon. The University Library School has decided that course work can be substituted for a thesis, so the Librarian will be thankfully continuing course work instead of writing a paper. A special course in Public Library problems is being offered this summer. Mrs. Harriet Deeble, Librarian Columbia Heights Public Library
