To: Renee Dougherty, Library Director
From: Winnie Coyne – Library Clerk
Subject: January Operational Report
Date: February 5th, 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: No paperback orders were sent this month.
D. Book Display: This month’s display features books with the word ‘new’ in the title; New
Year, New Book.
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F. Withdrawn items: Books are withdrawn from the system each week and are placed in a box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 January 7th.
B. Security gates: Security gates were checked twice daily to record the gatecount.
C. Public Works: This month, Public Works was here to adjust the front door.
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, February 6th.
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-the two
new pages will be assigned shelf reading as well starting this month. 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. Pictures from our Blues
Harmonica and Wigglebots events were shared on Facebook. We’ve also started cross-posting
programs with the Recreation department.
