I. COLLECTION PROJECTS
A. Magazines: Magazine labels were typed for newly received magazines.

C. Paperback order: One paperback order was sent this month.
D. Book Display: There was no display this month.
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F. Withdrawn items: Books are withdrawn from the system each week and are placed in a box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 September 13th.
B. Security gates: Security gates were checked twice daily to record the gatecount. The
gatecount was accidentally reset; it is still accurate but was set back to zero.
C. Public Works: This month, Public Works was here to do lawn maintenance and adjust the
building temperature.
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 Monday, October 4th.
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. We have lots of city job opening notices,
information about economic assistance programs, and some upcoming local events.
G. Shelf Reading: The pages have a new shelf-reading sheet for the fall starting this month.
H. Website and Facebook: Periodic updates of both Facebook and the web page were
completed. Both pages feature recurring and one-time events. This month we shared several
events hosted by the City of Columbia Heights and by the Recreation Department. September
was library card sign up month and we shared a post on Facebook.
