Operational Report, May 2004
May 31,2004
I. PROGRAMS:
A. Friends of the Library: The Friends met on Wednesday, May 5, 2004, at 9:00 a.m. to sort
books for the book sale and a meeting. At the meeting, they voted to raise the prices at
the book sale: hardcover books were raised from 50 cents to $1.00 and paperbacks from
25 cents to 50 cents. The prices for magazines, cassettes, videos and compact discs
remained the same. The Friends netted $1,400.39 from the book sale. This included 29
pre-sale tickets sold at $5.00 each. The Friends were happy with the amount of money
they made which was only $53.19 less than their 2003 sale. The 2003 book sale was
their top moneymaker. The Friend's next meeting will be on Monday, June 7 at 11 :00
a.m. for lunch at the Dragon House Restaurant. They will not meet in July and August.
B. At-Home Service: I had three requests for "At Home Service". Books were delivered by
Sandi Engquist.

delivered them on Wednesday, May 5.

positive than last month. Andrew, the new cleaner, is doing a better job than the last

wastebaskets but each problem is taken care of the following day.

completed the first week in June.
