Operational Report, June 2003
June 30, 2003
I. PROGRAMS:
A. Friends of the Library: The Friends met on Monday, June 2, at 1:00 p.m. in the library
boardroom. They were very pleased with the amount of money made at their book sale, and the
number of people who attended the presale. I prepared a financial sheet for distribution to
compare the last three book sale figures. The presale started in 1999, and the number of people
attending this year doubled since then. Most of the money was also made at the presale. Many
books were sold and cleanup went smoothly. The Friends are considering raising their prices for
next year's sale. They will not meet in July and August. Their next scheduled meeting will be
Monday, September 8, at the library. Their next evening meeting will be Monday, October 6, at
Keys Restaurant.
B. At home Service: I had three requests from "At home patrons" for library materials, and Sandi
Engquist delivered them.
e. Bulk Loans: I selected, processed, and delivered bulk loans to Parkview Villa, Heights Manor,
and Royce Place on Wednesday, June 4.
II. COLLECTION:
A. The state travel and tourism brochures I requested were labeled and placed in the vertical file.
Last years brochures were recycled.
B. I hope to start my second order of books on tape and compact disc before the end of the month.
e. I began withdrawing audiocassettes of music that are not circulating.
D. As I receive the 2003-04 Qwest out state directories I added them and recycled the old edition.
III. PROEJCTS & GOALS:
A. Annual supply order: I redid the current list of office and library supplies on Excel. This list has a
description, 2003 inventory count, amount ordered in 6/03, and space to record additional
quantities ordered this year. It can be easily updated. Numerous supplies were ordered: copier
paper, paper products, miscellaneous office supplies, City letterhead stationery and envelopes,
toner cartridges, and security tattle tapes. Purchase orders were prepared.
B. 75th Anniversary celebration: I sent letters out to seven past Library Board members informing
them of their selection as one of the "Patrons of the Month" for July. I prepared copy for their
certificates and took a photo of those who answered my request to be photographed. An article
featuring them will appear in the July Library Sampler.
e. Supply ordering: A supply budget sheet through 6/30/2003 was prepared and given to Becky.
D. Bulletin Board: The patrons are enjoying the cartoon on the main bulletin board and matching
bookmarks.
