D. Paperback Display: There was no room for a paperback display this month because of our
travel book and two New Book displays.

withdraw semiregularly. Bri is also giving me children’s books to withdraw semiregularly.
F. Last copy/withdrawn items: We no longer get a Last Copy list each week but we are still
weeding and withdrawing items. Books are withdrawn from the system each week and are
placed in a box to go to Better World Books if they are accepted by the company. Books in good
condition that are not accepted by Better World Books are going on the sale cart.

A. Fire extinguisher: The fire extinguishers were checked Tuesday, October 31st.
B. Security gates: Security gates were checked twice daily to record the gatecount.
C. Public Works: This month, Eric Hanson from Public Works was here to inspect the lights in
that public area of the library since there are a number of them that are out again. He was also
here while Cool Air and Peoples’ Electric were working on building maintenance.

A. ILL Drawer: The ILL drawers were maintained and a weekly count of filled requests has
been kept.
B. Month End Statistics: The statistics for the previous month will be totaled and sent to staff
by Thursday, November 2nd.
C. Bulletin Board: Old notices are removed once they have expired or been up for thirty days
and new notices are put up as we receive them.
D. Shelf Reading: Shelf reading was nearly completed this month. There will be a new shelf
reading sheet out during November. Pages continue to shelf-read in the children’s area again
since we no longer have Teen Volunteers doing that task.
E. Website and Facebook: Periodic updates of both Facebook and the Webpage were
completed. The web page and Facebook page both feature recurring and one-time events.
New events are added at least once a week to reflect up-to-date programing.
