~eferenc__e Directional A .~irectional B
873 '178 "' 16~
~a~ed on fL working day~, 'this means that the library staff answered approximately
36.375reference, 7.41 directional A, and~6 directional B questions per day.
In the children's department, story hour is in full swing. Tiny Tots, for children
2~-3~ years of age, has started on October 15th, and 42 children are registered.
The week before Halloween, the children came to story hour in their costumes
and had a parade through the building at the end of the program. On the 26th,
51 elementary-age participants made Halloween masks and listened to scary stories.
During MEA week, the movie "Ride a Wild Pony" was shown to 263 people.
Thanks go to Ruth Miller, Kathy Olson, Evelyn Reinholdsen, and Loretta Spindler
for the mock German chocolate cakes they baked for the October senior citizens'
program. The next program will be on Thursday, November 12 because the library
will be closed November 11 in observance of Veterans' Day.
The Friends have voted to purchase a cabinet for the library's collection of
filmstrips. Jo and Becky will select the one most appropriate for the collection,
and it will be ordered soon.
Jo and Becky went to Bookmen on October 8 and stocked up on paperbacks, pasteboard
and cloth books, and some extra copies of high-demand items.
The 'first edition of the library's monthly newsletter is hot off the press and
in need of a name. The library is sponsoring a "Name-the-New-Newsletter', contest
through November 20. Entry forms are available at the desk in the main floor
lobby, and people may enter as many times as they wish. The Phantom Reader
will be the judge, and the December issue will feature the new name for the
first time. The winner will be able to select a prize from those on display
in the lobby. Hurry in with your entries!
Good news! The library's roof will be repaired before the first of December.
Wes Hendrickson of TKDA & Associates has also met with 3o and Becky to discuss
the basement renovations and will be bringing in preliminary designs soon.
Jo and Darlene attended the annual Book Fair at the University of Minnesota
on the 22nd and were a little disappointed. There were fewer books than in
previous years~ and one of the reviewers commented only on the art in the various
books.
Carol Uden will be living on-campus at Concordia next quarter, and so the library
is looking for a new page beginning in the latter part of November. Applicants
must be at least 15~ years of age and willing to work evening hours. Interested
people may pick up applications at the library.
Bob Murray will be leaving his position as Community Education Coordinator on
November 6 to join the administration of community education in Southern Washington
County. The staff appreciates the work he has done in conjunction with the
library and wishes him well in his future endeavors.
