Report
February 4, 1975
The staff was gratified to see the increase in use of
the libraries by adults in 1974 but not surprised to see the
(~rop (n the use of children's books. With the large decline of
enrollment of the parochial school and child population in
Columbia Heights in general, it was a condition to be expected.
Therefore, the staff and particularly the childr~.n's program
coordinator believed that the work with children could be intensified
and redirected to more children participation. Jo's winter
programs for children after school have been a fantastic success.
Her first pet show listed 55 dogs and any number of other smaller
creatures. People old and young took part, and the Friends of the
Library did a marvelous job of judging. They certainly are a
wonderful addition to our activities. The next week she had the
Como Park Zoo bring out some rather disappointing exhibits but the
participation and interest was tremendous. For her craft project,
she had about 250 small people sitting on the floor doing decoupage
with mothers and staff helping. Today we expect her filmstrip show
of children's books to be as well-attended as the Walt Disney movie,
which had about 300 children.
The book orders have been coming in more steadily, and we are
about caught up on the current books we can offer.
The pre-school story hours are especially well-attended, even
on threatening days, and there is still a waiting list for the
three times a week sessions. The mothers seem to enjoy their rap
sessions.
The future objectives of the staff include hopes for more
room for additional group functions.
