.Approved :
The 1987 circulation was 7% above 1986, at 117,369. Other figures
are not available yet for numbers of questions answered, reserves
taken, etc.
The new page began yesterday. ,Her name is Judith (Judy)
Wiedenkeller. She will be shelving and shelf-reading. We will be
teaching Teri to "understudy" some other areas for days when there
is not enough shelving for two.
Storyhours and the Christmas craft program were vel1 received.
The new session begins Thursday, in cooperation with the school
district.
The December Artist of the Month was a homemade affair of
paperweights and Christmas cards because we could not find the man
who had originally signed up to exhibit. The January artist is
our own Ed Turzinski.
We heard from or saw several of our "alumni" over the holidays:
Lolly Bonnell, Susan Elliker, Angela Ferber, Grant Fredericksen,
and Melissa Matz. All are well, and send greetings.
Judy Hackbarth, who has been with us on a special program is
leaving because her grant is finished. We are hoping for a
replacement. Sue Schmid, Donna's daughter, who just received her
MLS, will be assisting Charlene for some field experience.
We have purchased a device called a Lasercounter, which will
record people entering the library. This figure will give us
another measure of the number of people we serve.
