Departmental Goals
A. The library participated in the tornado drill on 4/9.
B. The library is out to bid on carpeting for the adult ~eading room,
main floor lobby and stairwell. In order to install this carpeting,
all free-standing shelving in the adult reading room will have to
be empty. The library is looking for volunteers to help move the
book to temporary storage, and after an article in the Northeaster,
eighteen people have volunteered so far.
C. On 4/23 the library will be closed from 11:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. to
accommodate the change-out of the mainframe computer. The building
will be open from 9-11:30 a.m. and from 5:00-8:30 p.m.
Applicants for three graduating page positions will be accepted through
the end of April.

Issues and Problems
A. The issue of disruptive behavior in libraries is becoming even more
controversial. The recent ruling in favor of a disruptive patron in
Morristown, New Jersey, has been overturned by a higher court. Staff
is monitoring this situation carefully.
