REPORT APRIL 3, 1974
The circulation for March was about the same as last year. This we consider an increase
because of the greater volume of adult usage of the library. The school classes are much smaller
than formally and consequently the children's circulation is smaller but gratifying to see the adult
usage grow.
Most public libraries concentrate on the adult collection but the staff here feel that an
educational program from childhood on is important. Consequently the large number of
children's programs.
Our children's monthly movies have been a growing success. In February we had to turn
away so many people we were determined to have showings two days. In March we had two
days and still had to turn people away. These are quality movies originally from books.
The senior citizens responded enthusiastically in March also. There were over 75 people
in attendance. The refreshments took on the miracle of the "loaves and the fishes" but everyone
got some. Its such a rewarding experience to have these people in the library. There is a show
and tell period now where they share their leisure time projects. The Friends of the Library will
be asked to contribute towards refreshments.
For our Library Week celebration we are having a poster contest and a movie for the
children. Later on in the spring we will have a puppet show (filmed) to show to classes from the
public schools visiting the library on their spring outings. Also we hope to visit all the schools to
tell them about summer activities. It promises to be a busy time.
