In preparatio~ for a big summer packed full of surprises, Jo and Peg visited
the elementary schoo]s during the week of May 19th and distributed brochures
to the classes. Announcements about library programs have also appeared in
the City newsletter and the Recreation brochure. There will be many new
programs offered over the summer, and the three reading clubs will culminate
z>Jt¼ a celebratory carnival at the end of August.
Tiw~pks go to Estelle Nelson~ Rita Norberg, Loraine Reisewitz, and Pauline
~usinyak for the peanut butter be-quicks they baked and served at the May
~e~ior citi~cn program.
l~ir~ Dugdale~ a page at the library, will be graduating from Columbia Heights
High School ~n June and will be attending St. Scholastica in the fall. The
s~aff offers its congratulations and wishes him well on his future endeavors.
A~ a result cf recruitment in April and interviews in May, Betsy Hoium has
been hired as Tim*s replacement. Betsy will start page training in July.
W~lcome to the staff!
O~ May 27~ Mayor Nawrocki proclaimed the beginning of summer programs at the
l~brary and the kic!~-off of our campaign to make Columbia Heights a City of
Ready, rs. A gala balloon launch on June 10, 1986, at 2:00 p.m. will signal
th~ offlci~! graft of a very busy summer season at the library. In an effort
to increase circ~]ation over the next twelve months, special events and
contests will be occurring. Staff members are ai~ wearing buttons that say,
"Ask ~ne--I'm here to help" and will be asking patrons who check out materials
whether or not they found everything they wanted. How about you--is you~
library card current and did ~ou find everything you wanted the last time
you were in the library?
~ ~ ~ T H E Y ' R E C O M I ~ G ~ ~ ~
Are you ready to enter the 21st century? After two years of planning and
Lard work, the library is ready and willing, and thanks to the City Council's
~nitial approval~ the automated circulation system will become a reality in
i~g6-87. Every patron and every item owned by the library will be assigned
a ~n~que barcode. When an item is borrowed~ a light pen will be used to
create a link between the two barcodes in the computer's data base. When
the item is returned, the link will be broken. This system will provide
accurate, timely records on the patron's borrowing record and on the status
of requested materials. New plastic library cards will be issued, and it
will become wery important to always carry your library card with you when
you want to borrow materials. Keep watch for further announcements as to
progress of the library's conversion and as to how service and access to the
collection will be improved.
