IV. STAFF
A. The month of June has been very hectic. On at least two occasions circulation for
the day came in at 900 or more a good sign that the library is being well utilized.
The children’s department is seldom without patrons and the staff is constantly
moving to provide service. That being said we are behind on several of our
regularly scheduled tasks. Kelly Olson, Library Clerk did manage to complete
the month end statistics, and placed several book orders. Kelly also providing
training for the new page on borrower registration. Cristy Tombarge, Library Aid
has been very busy collecting statistics from our programs. The statistics are
required for the grants and reports to MELSA. Cristy has also prepared flyers,
posters and an events calendar for distribution to the public.
B. Pages have been registering children for the reading programs and shelving an
abundance of returned materials. They continue to check selection tools and
process new materials.
