REPORT JULY3, 1974
Last week for two days the Library was surveyed by a finn hired by the State of
Minnesota Library Division. All expenditures of Columbia Heights Public Library were
accounted for the five year period from 1969 through 1974. Some interesting statistics were
unearthed and a copy of the survey will be sent to us. Also some suggestions from the
surveyor's own observations in other libraries. Our library was chosen rather at random and
because it is the largest independent library not belonging to any system or region. She seemed
to be favorably impressed.
The attendance for the summer programs has been remarkably good this summer except
for a couple of very stormy days. However the ones that came these days seemed to feel safe and
secure.
Pauline is sadly missed and we're looking forward to August 15th when her replacement
will be here. We're sure that Becky will be a real addition to the staff with new ideas for better
performance.
For the movie last week the college girls took charge and did a fine job. About 250
children attended. Jo was on vacation but everything went smoothly.
The young people, who were supported by the County., Tim Yantos sent over, are
working out very well. The boy particularly (George Kordiak) is a willing and responsible
helper. The chores are taken care of promptly.
Letters were sent out to patrons having accumulated $.75 in fines, hopefully, to make
them aware that the book drop is policed. One of the girls comes in weekends to attend to the
book drop.
The Friends of the Library again helped with the refreshments for the Senior Citizens and
with the decorations in the Children's room. Our "Storyland" has quite a reputation.
