I. COLLECTION PROJECTS
A. Magazines: Magazine labels were typed for newly received magazines.

C. Paperback order: No paperback orders were sent this month. We stopped ordering for
2017 in November and will begin to order for 2018 in January.
D. Paperback Display: There was no room for a paperback display this month.
E. Weeding Projects: Renee is going through fiction and mysteries and giving me books to
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F. Last copy/withdrawn items: We no longer get a Last Copy list each week but we are still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 Books are withdrawn from the system each week and are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.

A. Fire extinguisher: The fire extinguishers were checked Thursday, December 28th.
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 check in with workers
from SetPoint Energy to repair our sidewalk snowmelt system. He was also here to take care of
several men’s restroom messes.

been kept.
B. Month End Statistics: The statistics for the previous month will be totaled and sent to staff
by Monday, January 7th.
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 not completed this month. The shelf reading assignment
will stay the same for January and pages will be reminded to spend time shelf reading during
every shift.
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 our Youth Fine
Read Down and Family History Research program appear on the website and Facebook page
about one week before they occur.
