I. COLLECTION PROJECTS
A. Magazines: Magazine labels were typed for newly received magazines.
B. Damaged Shelf: Items older than 1 month were cleared from the shelf this month.
C. Paperback order: One paperback order was sent this month.
D. Book Display: This month I created one centered around the new PBS show ‘The Great
American Read’. It features books from the PBS list of 100 and invites library patrons to check
out a book from the list. They can vote online to participate in the PBS Great American Read
and vote here in the library to participate in our version as well.
E. Weeding Projects: Renee and Bri are both giving me books to withdraw semiregularly.
F. Withdrawn items: Books are withdrawn from the system each week and are placed in a box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. Any books in good condition
that are not sent to Better World Books are prepared to go on our sale-cart. We currently have
six boxes of books that will be sent in to Better World Books within the next week or so.

system to make sure that it was working properly.

been kept.

by Wednesday, June 6th.
C. Bulletin Board: Old notices are removed once they have expired or have been up for thirty
days and new notices are put up as we receive them.
D. Shelf Reading: The shelf-reading assignments from May will continue through June so that
all sections can be finished before new assignments begin for July and August.

completed. Both pages feature recurring and one-time events. Special programs like the author
talk given by Allen Eskens and the meditation workshop held by Arvind Naik.
