As part of Catholic Education Week, Miss Jo visited with 32 second-graders from Mrs. Cone's class and told them about her life as a child growing up in Columbia Heights. (One second-grader wanted to know if there were windows "back then.") After-School-Art classes started the last week in January and had a good turn-out in spite of the cold weather. Thanks go to Marie Eng, Lucille McFail, Ruth Westerberg, and Lee Wilke for the assorted quick breads they baked for the January senior citizen program. Thanks also go to ]~arie Eng, Ruth Westerberg, and Lee Wilke for helping to serve. Be sure to check out the display cases at the library this month. Kenny Hentges has some model trains in the basement display case, and Becky and Mary have a small selec- tion from their collections of depression era kitchenware in the main floor case. The library has been the recipient of a cash gift from Rainbow School. This donation will be used to purchase cassette/book media kits for the children's department. The staff has been busy over the last month. Jo traveled to Ridgedale on the 24th to participate in a book review session on best-of-'84 children's books with 60 Hennepin County librarians. She was introduced during the session and got to inspect one of the libraries she will be visiting this summer on an exchange program. Along with other City employees, Becky participated in a workshop on comparable worth conducted by Control Data Corporation (CDC) on the 31st. The questionnaire worked on in the session will be part of the comparable worth study conducted by CDC on behalf of a large group of Minnesota cities. The RFP for an automated circulation system for the county is in its final stages~ and the committee hopes to have it finished by February 15. The staff welcomes Jenny Debner, a junior at Columbia Heights High School, as a new page at the library. A very special thanks go to the Friends of the Library for the generous gifts they gave to the library this year. We have received the following: 1. 120 plastic tube hangers 2. 1 hand truck 3. 1 table truck 4. 10 (30" x 72") folding tables Report February 5, 1985 - Page 2 - 5.
