From: Winnie Coyne – Library Clerk
Subject: January Operational Report
Date: January 28th, 2016
I. COLLECTION PROJECTS
A. Magazines: Magazine labels were typed for newly received magazines.
B. Damaged Shelf: Items older than 3 months were cleared from the shelf this month.
C. Paperback order: No paperback orders have been sent yet this month.
D. Paperback Display: This month’s theme was “Westerns” in honor of local author
Pat Stinson’s visit: I hoped that a display along with the author talk would draw new
readers to Westerns.
E. Weeding projects: Westerns and the 300s are currently being weeded. The 300s
section is a little over halfway.
F. Last copy/withdrawn items: We no longer get a Last Copy list each week but we are
weeding heavily and withdrawing lots of items. Books were withdrawn from the system
each week and were placed in a box to go to Better World Books if they were accepted
by the company. If not, they were placed with donation items to be added to the sale
cart only if they were in excellent condition and would sell.
II. MAINTENANCE
A. Fire extinguishers: Fire extinguishers were checked Thursday, January 28th.
B. Security gates: Security gate filters were cleaned Thursday, January 28th.
C. Public Works: This month, Public Works did not do any projects at the library.
III. MISCELLANEOUS
A. ILL Drawer: The ILL drawers were maintained and a weekly count of filled requests
has been kept. The ILL slips from 2015 were bundled and stored with the previous
years.
B. Month End Statistics: The statistics for the previous month will be totaled and sent
out to staff by Monday, February 1st.
C. Bulletin Board: The Bulletin board was maintained and cleaned this month.
D. Shelf Reading: Shelf reading is not even halfway complete for January so the same
list will stay up through February to make sure all sections get done.
E. Website and Facebook: Periodic updates of both Facebook and the Webpage were completed. The
front page of the library site was updated to show current events and highlight tax information for this
year.
