C. Paperback order: Two paperback orders were sent this month.

their time in the building to 90 minutes and seating by the fireplace is blocked off.
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F. Withdrawn items: Books are withdrawn from the system each week and are placed in a box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 not checked this month, they were checked
December 7th.
B. Security gates: Security gates were checked twice a day. Due COVID-19, our limited hours,
and no in-person programming the gatecount numbers are lower than at this time last year.
C. Public Works: This month, Public Works was here checking on items that staff had sent in
tickets for.
D. Month End Statistics: The statistics for the previous month will be totaled and sent to
staff by Wednesday, December 9th.
E. 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. There are new notices up about
CareerForce programs and rent and utilities help due to COVID.
F. Reading: Shelf reading assignments were done by the pages. They will get new assignments
this month for Winter.
G. Website and Facebook: Periodic updates of both Facebook and the web page were
completed. Both pages feature recurring events, one-time events, and information about what
services we are offering right now. We shared several different educational posts from the
Columbia Heights Police department, a few podcast episodes by popular author Brené Brown, as
well as upcoming library events.
