F. Withdrawn items: Books are withdrawn from the system each week and are placed in a box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 April 30th.

to the public.
C. Public Works: This month, Public Works was here to do landscape maintenance and to drop
off painting supplies.
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 5th.
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. No new notices have not been put up this
month.
G. Shelf Reading: Shelf reading assignments have been put on hold while the pages are not
working. Full-time staff are doing some shelf reading as part of other projects.
H. Website and Facebook: Periodic updates of both Facebook and the web page were
completed. Both pages feature recurring and one-time events. Free online resources for all ages
are being shared weekly on Facebook. We are also doing Stay-At-Home Storytime on Monday
mornings and posting instructional videos for some of our online resources.
