Starting in May, the library will be keeping data on reference questions asked by the
patrons. LIBGIS, a statistical method used by the other ~!ELSA libraries, has been selected
for use and will provide information in three major categories:
Reference Directional ~ Directional..B
~ 673 ..... 442 67
Directional B includes only those requests for directions to locate materials for which the
user has a call number. Directional A includes directions for usina the copy machine,
locating facilities such as telephones, and locating library staff. Reference includes all
questions which involve the use, recommendation, interpretation, or instruction in the use
of one or more information sources. Keepina these records will enable the library to
compare itself to other libraries of similar size and to help determine how our man-hours
are spent.
Summer has gotten off to a brisk start in the children's department. 326 children have
joined the Sesame Gulch"Readinq Club and 162 have Joined the Read-to-Me Club. 35 children
are participating in the Tiny Tots story hour and 30 in the Pre-School story hour. Twelve
mothers listened to Qenise De~ars, Columbia Heiahts Fire Department, give a talk on first
aid for parents. Classes on ceramic clay sculpture and ceramic dolls have been taught to
children this month by local artist Sharon Hagen. The two craft classes for elementary
children taught by the Recreation Department have also started. The Book Bus has com-
pleted its first two runs of the season, with 564 and 739 items checked out on the two
days. The weekly puppet shows on the bus are very popular, even though the ~te Bad Wolf
did tell one naughty child to "buzz off" during a recent show. Battlestar Galactica was
shown to about 300 people on the 16th and Jaws to 72 on the llth.
The Con~nunity Education classes are continuinq over the summer at the library. A ~.E.n.
class run on a work-at-your-own-speed basis has been a hieh drawinq card with between
20 to 30 people participating.
Thanks go to Helen Merrick and Pauline Rusinyak for the lemon jello cakes they baked for
the June senior citizen pro,ram. Thanks also po to Dorothy Lindsay, Helen Merrick, Ruth
Miller, and Pauline Rusinyak for helping to serve.
The library has received a aift copy of Camp talk, a book of poetry by former resident
Russ Baehr, who graduated f~om Columbia Heights High School in 1935. t~r. Baehr is cur-
rently living in Oreaon and has written poetry on his experiences in the wilderness.
The budoet occupies a large portion of staff time during June because this is the time
that proposals for the next year are made. A draft proposal has been completed and will
be presented to the Board at its July meeting.
On July 18 at l:O0 p.m. the flag pole in front of the library will be formally dedicated
to the memory of their parents by Peter Ulmaniec, Helen )~errick, Valerie Sramek, and
Stefanie Rose. There will be a brief ceremony outside followed by refreshments in the
library, and all interested people are cordially invited to join us.
