th
Monday, February 7 at 1:00 p.m. in the Library Boardroom at which Becky will present
the “wish list”.

II. COLLECTION:
A. I have completed weeding the fiction books-on-tape in preparation for our new computer
program and am almost finished with the non-fiction.
III. PROEJCTS & GOALS:
A. Adult Reading Program: “Hot Reads for Cold Nights”, the annual adult reading program
began on Monday, January 24. As of 1/28 seventy-five patrons have registered for the
program. This already exceeds the total number registered last year by more than 20, and
this is the first week of the program. When they register, patrons receive a bookmark and
an entry from that they complete after reading two books. Twenty books is the maximum
number they can read. Prizes will be awarded weekly and at the end of the program.
B. Book display: This month’s book display is “Hot Reads for Cold Nights” and features
newer fiction. The display will continue until the end of the adult reading program.
C. Tax forms: Tax forms were displayed on Monday, January 10. Several Friends of the
Library members helped me with this. We still have not received the reproducible
Federal forms. I emailed the ACL system, and they have not received theirs either.
D. Fidelity Cleaners: Karen our new cleaner is doing a satisfactory job cleaning the library.
I have left a few messages in the communication notebook, and she takes care of all
matters promptly.

reading.
