Projects & Goals
A. BOOKSALE:
During the month, I designed and duplicated promotional materials for the book sale. This
included flyers, pre-sale tickets, and posters. I contacted Northeast State Bank and the City Hall to request
the book sale be advertised on their marquees. I also wrote a news release on the sale and faxed it to the
Northeaster and Focus newspapers. Promotional flyers were also sent in the delivery to all the Anoka County
Libraries.
BUDGET REPORT: I prepared a budget report on items I order for the library. This includes office, computer,
and general supplies, and minor office equipment. This report covers January 1999 through the middle of May
and shows the amount spent, budgeted, and remaining in each account. This report will be updated each month
after the bills are processed and a copy given to Becky.
BULLETIN BOARD: A new bulletin board was designed and displayed the week of May 17 with the theme, "Get
carried away with books".
WORD PROCESSING: During the month, I used the Wordpad program to create signs, reports, and other
documents.
COMMUNITYINVOLVEMENT: I attended and represented the library at the Immaculate Conception School Civic
Appreciation Luncheon on Thursday, May 27. The agenda for this event included a tour of the school an art
fair, a welcome by School Board Co-President, Mike McGee, a short talk by Representative Satveer
Chaudhary, and a luncheon. Students of the school acted as tour guides and helped at the luncheon. I enjoyed
the tour of the school and the luncheon and had the opportunity to meet the pastor, acting principal oflCS, and
several members of their school board.
