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: No paperback orders were sent this month.
D. Book Display: This month’s display highlights poets since April is National Poetry month. I
created bookmarks with a picture, short bio, and selected works for several poets.
E. Weeding Projects: Renee and Bri are both giving me books to withdraw semiregularly. I am
doing the first stage of weeding in the Romance section and giving books to Renee for a final
decision.
F. Withdrawn items: Books are withdrawn from the system each week and are placed in a box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. If not or if they are in very
bad shape they are recycled.
II. MAINTENANCE
A. Fire extinguisher: The fire extinguishers were checked on April 30th, 2019.
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 look at a damaged
tree by the pond.
D. ILL Drawer: The ILL drawer is no longer needed; the Anoka County Libraries now generate a
report that tallies the ILLs for each month.
E. Month End Statistics: The statistics for the previous month will be totaled and sent to staff
by Tuesday, May 7th.
F. 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.
G. Shelf Reading: Shelf reading is no longer being assigned to pages each shift, instead it has
been assigned as needed. The children’s CDs and DVDs need to be shelf read this month. Pages
will be assigned monthly shelf-reading again soon.
H. Website and Facebook: Periodic updates of both Facebook and the web page were
completed. Both pages feature recurring and one-time events. The second week in April was
National Library Week, several pictures of the library display were posted to Facebook during
the week and reached a large number of people.
