Report - April 13
The l~brariama invested in about three hundred paperback editions of
wsrthWh~le shildren*~ l~ks. the some of them l~e have ~u hard cover, and before
we could ~t a rack ~or them they were all in ei~eulation. There is something
fascinating about paperbacks for shildren. We ~ound a jobber who would give us
20% off on them amd they cost us an averag~ of about zixty cents a pieqe. May-
be the interes~ in these ~ooks will .arry o~e~ into hard cover books. Some of
them are ~really done well.
The librarian and Pauline attended a seminar on books for Senior Citi-
zens and found that the programs here at Columbia Heights are ahead of everyone
else in the state except possibley St. Paul after whom we patterned our pro-
grams. However, we did get some i~eas for making our sessions more interesting.
The week ~efore Easter has been very quiet, but still not as quiet as
last year. March'm~.eirculation record was 14,O76, 2441 more than last year.
However, now that warme~esthe~ has come we may get a slight breather.
We are studying the possibility of investing ia racks for the adult
paper back books, too, It ~ould give us about twenty-four more shelves for non-
fiction books and would be considsrably less expensive than purchasing new
shelves. Also it would make for a more attractive collection.
The library is about to receive some donations from some of the orga-
nizations in Columbim Heights and a suggestion was forwarded for making a
junior lounge in the children's room in orde~ to make it as inviting as the
adult side. Mrs. Warge has said she will give us decorating advice so we don't
mix up the decor. Also we are antieipa~inE rewenue from the sale of discarded
or donated books durin~ ~amboree week. We hope its a reading week.
Good raking te everyone.
