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F. Last copy/withdrawn items: We no longer get a Last Copy list each week but we are still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 Books are withdrawn from the system each week and are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. We do not
have any room for more sale-cart items in storage right now, so all items that are not accepted
by Better World Books are being recycled.

from Cool Air, FMI, and others who were doing maintenance on various parts of the building.

been kept.
B. Month End Statistics: The statistics for the previous month will be totaled and sent to staff
by Monday, December 4th.

and new notices are put up as we receive them.
D. Shelf Reading: Shelf reading was nearly completed this month. There are new shelf reading
sheets for the Adult and Youth areas for December.
E. Website and Facebook: Periodic updates of both Facebook and the web page were
completed. Both pages feature recurring and one-time events. Reminders for single events
