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 theme is ‘’Read Around the World’. It features fiction
and nonfiction books that are about other countries.
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F. Withdrawn items: Books are withdrawn from the system each week and are placed in a box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 March 4th.
B. Security gates: Security gates were checked twice daily to record the gatecount while the
library was still open to the public.
C. Public Works: This month, Public Works was here to do landscape maintenance.
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 Friday, April 3rd.
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. Since the
pages are not currently working due to the library closure I have been doing some shelf reading.
H. Website and Facebook: Periodic updates of both Facebook and the web page were
completed. Both pages feature recurring and one-time events. Some events in March and all
events in April were cancelled. Free online resources for all ages are being shared weekly on
Facebook.
