SUBJECT: June, 2007 Operational Report
DATE: June 25, 2007
1. Programs
thth
a. The Friends of the Library held the annual book sale on June 6 and 7
this year. The Friends took in $1,101.80 including $110 in presale tickets.
The library’s income from the sale was $162.75. The sale went very
smoothly and was well organized by the Friends. The group held a
meeting during the set up for the sale. Future fundraising ideas and
purchasing additional items from the wish list were discussed. The next
meeting will be September 10, 2007.
b. At Home Service provided two deliveries in June of over 30 items.
c. Volunteers provided an impressive 151 hours in June. The majority of the
hours were for the book sale, although two dedicated volunteers have
completed shifting and some much needed cleaning in the adult
department.
2. Projects
a. Two executives from Fidelity met with Linda Magee, Becky Loader and
me to discuss some problems with the cleaner on June 12, 2007. It was
decided that the present cleaner would no longer work in the library due to
some strange occurrences in the building. A different cleaner has been
assigned to the library and the work has been much improved.
b. The displays for the month of June include a “Master the Art of Reading”
bulletin board featuring famous paintings with books inserted into them.
Coordinating bookmarks were also given away as a part of this promotion.
The lobby display showcases fiction with famous people as characters.
The Elvis books seem to be the most popular.
3. Meetings
a. I met with the students at Brown College in Mendota Heights to view the
library card designs and posters they created. There are several that are
quite attractive; staff is still reviewing the possibilities. We may need to
order new library cards before the end of the year because our supply is
getting quite low.
