To: Renee Dougherty, Library Director
From: Winnie Coyne – Library Clerk
Subject: December Operational Report
Date: January 7th, 2020
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: Two paperback orders were sent this month.
D. Book Display: This month’s display features books by native authors; it is the same display
as last month so that patrons have more opportunities to explore writers that they may not be
familiar with.
E. Weeding Projects: Renee and Bri are regularly giving me books to withdraw.
F. Withdrawn items: Books are withdrawn from the system each week and are placed in a box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 December 3rd.
B. Security gates: Security gates were checked twice daily to record the gatecount.
C. Public Works: This month, Public Works was here to check on the sidewalk snowmelt
system.
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 Thursday, January 9th.
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 still being assigned to individual pages as needed-there are
currently new assignments for all pages. We have several volunteers who are taking care of
specific areas, so the pages do not need to shelf read the entire collection. Our teen volunteer
Hawken has been shelf reading the easy (picture) books.
H. Website and Facebook: Periodic updates of both Facebook and the web page were
completed. Both pages feature recurring and one-time events. January programs were added
this month as well as pictures from December’s LEGO Challenge.
