REPORT
December 4, 1979
Pre-school story hour is in full swing in the Children's department, and
Jo presented four special story hours for nursery schools which made field trips
to the library. A cartoon festival on the day after Thanksgiving featured the
new super 8mm cartoons purchased by the library and drew a crowd of approximately
lO0 interested persons. Registration for Christmas Crafts was high and was
taken through the end of November.
The Friends, the library's adult volunteer group, had an organizational
meeting on November 7, and discussion centered around the group's purpose. A
need for structure was identified, and the following officers were chosen:
Helen Merrick, President
Pat Jindra, .Vice-President
Kay Reiners, Secretary
Faye Kluk, Treasurer
The Friends will be meeting once a month at the library to discuss projects and
plans.
A workshop on policy/procedure manuals was held on November 8 at the
library for librarians from A~IO (Associate Members of MELSA) libraries.
Copies of policies were traded and discussed. The reference librarians from
Anoka County Headquarters came on the 15th for a tour of the facilities and a
chance to meet the staff, i~ames and voices known over the phone were matched
with faces, and we all got a chance to trade ideas on improving back-up
reference and ILL procedures. Jo and Becky met with representatives from the
Fire Department and the Recreation/Community Services Department to discuss
implementation of a fire safety program for pre-schoolers. A program for pre-
schoolers and their parents will be included in either the winter or spring
section of the library's story hour, and a trip to the fire station may be
used as a follow-up reinforcement of what the children learn in the program.
Plans for future cooperative efforts between the Recreation/Community Services
Department and the library were also discussed, and possibilities were
identified for development.
The Guthrie Theatre's "Costumes on Stage" program was a roaring success.
Nearly lO0 people crowded the community room to watch the costume show put on
by volunteer models. Thanks go to Faye Kluk~ Helen Merrick, Nancy Rathbun,
Marcie Schlager, and Ruth Westerberg for the pumpkin bars they baked and to
Faye Kluk, Helen Merrick~ Ruth Miller, and Aileen Sturdevant for helping to
serve and assisting with the show.
In response to patron requests, the library will be ordering microfilm
from the Chicago regional branch of the National Archives. Beginning in January,
patrons may use microfilm of census records on an inter-library loan basis for
their genealogical research. ~!,e library has ordered the necessary catalogs
and forms and will be ready for the first requests sometime in January.
Becky will be out of town December 19-29, and any questions can be
directed to Mary during her absence.
The staff joins in wishing everyone a happy holiday season.
