Report - June 7e 1972
It's almost too busy around here to write a ~eport. Monday there
were not quite 1200 ~ooks out of the. library which means 300 to ~OO people.
Everyone is joining something--Si, cry Hour, Puppet Club, Readiug Club. There
are over 75 registered for each story hour and more expected. We've lcr~
since run out of chairs again and sitting on the floor is now the fashion
downstairs.
The Traffic Commission has authorized the City Engineer to place a per-
manent stop sign on ~ Avenue in front of the library. We feel this corner
is a menace and we're very fortunate not to have had any accidents. The
County engineering department will be consulted.
We were hoping for rapid delivery on books by ordering through the
Anoka County Library System, but have found that we get our books much more
promptly from our own jobber without the additional charge and time of
ordering through the County. On our order to Monarch Book Co. of 130 books
on May 26m we have already received 50 books.
The people seem to be enjoying our flower garden and Busy Bee activities.
Folk~ have really cooperated to make the library as attractive as possible.
The air conditioning is somewhat of a problem this spring, but we
hope to get things straightened around soon,
We've been using paperback books extensively for additional summer
reading copies. These books cost us on an average of 75¢ a piece instead of
the $4.75 for hard covers. By the time summer is over they will mo longer
be a storage problem.
We're hoping for a cool busy summer.
