REPORT
January 6, 1975
There were 135,366 items circulated from the Columbia Heights Public
Library during 1975. This ~as about 1,oeo more than 1974.
There were 2~794 new books purchase~ in 1975.. There were also a
number of books discarded ~ud rem~ved , but there ~-~as an over s~l gain.
More complete statistics will be awuilable in February.
The work is going well in the basement and the carpenter, has ~learSd
one rcom for a movie today, l~e hope to have the Senior Citizens meeting
here ~n the fourteenth ~ulso. It is much more convenient not to have to
haul everything.
The contract with ~moka County was signe~ on December 23rd. There
is some question able,ut ~ur ability to fulfill this contract as far as the
per capita spending is concerned.
%!e appreciated the good ~shers and the treats that some of our
patrons left us at Christmas. It was a s~as,vn to be jelly.
The new book drop has been installed in the workroom and seems to
be working really well, It was a headache for the cabinet makers because of
plumbing ~und other obstructions but we feel it %~ill be worth the effort
because less weekend smd holiday time ~ll be necessary.
It's good to have the Christmas lull over. Some housekeeping chores
were t~ken care of and a lot of books were processed. However more patrons
are a welcome sight,
