The children's departments is decorated with some pretty strange-looking characters, who are all ready to welcome summer readers to the Book Trek Readinq Club. The shiny metal bodies and numerous bulbs and knobs look formidable, but Jo assures everyone that they are all very friendly and. love children. Jo and Darlene have visited the individual classrooms for grades 1 through 3 in district thirteen to promote the summer proqrams, and registrations have started to come in for some of the programs. Thanks go to Marie Hansen, Helen Merrick, Ruth Miller, and Sue Murzyn for the walnut cakes they baked for the May senior citizen program and to Faye Kluk, Dorothy Lindsey, Ruth Miller, and Nancy Rathbun, who helped serve. Mr. Abner Shivers, who formerly played guitar at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, provided some special music as an addition to the regular program. The library has received two donations in May. Mrs. Louise Johnson, local nature author who uses the CHPL for her background research, has donated a copy of her new book, Out~ost encounters, to the collection in appreciation of the help she has received. Mrs. Faith Graefe and her daughters have donated a copy of The signed English dictionary for preschool and elementary levels to the childreh's department in a6pre'ciation of all {h6 books they'have been able to read. Each year brochures, bookmarks, and other public relations materials have been solicited by the Public Relations Roundtable of ALA for use in a program held during the annual conference. Materials from many libraries are divided up according to subject and made available for distribution during a program where consultants in different specialty fields may be questioned about their areas of expertise. Mary and Jo have sent copies of their brochures on homebounds, senior citizens, and get-well boxes to be included in the program. Becky attended the spring MLA conference in St. Cloud on May 2 and participated in the trustee programs, which examined the relationship of the library director and the trustee, performance evaluations, and powers and limitations of different types of library boards. Becky also hosted an informal meeting between the directors of the independent libraries in MELSA (the regional library system) and Mr. William Duncan, the new MELSA director. Discussion centered on the role of the independent libraries in MELSA and the input they will have in the new policy on ~naffiliated libraries. Jo and Darlene attended the spring MLA/Children's-Young People's workshop at St. Catherine's with guest speakers Rosemary Wells and Norma Klein. They also participated in a workshop on toy-lending libraries and car back with possible ideas for expanded service, Jo and Becky also visited Bookmen, the library's paperback supplier, and bought two carts full of books for the start of the summer reading season.
