LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
September 5, 1989
As of August 31, we had circulated 87,078 items; at least 35,000
of these were during the summer.
We received a gift copy of - Thorns Register from Lanson Industries.
With last year's state aid grant we purchased over 750 paperbacks
for children. Linda and Thelnla have been processing these in
spare moments, and they were put out for circulation, and are
going fast.
Storyhour, bedtime storyhour, munchin lunvhin, and a party marked
the conclusion of the summer reading program. Penny and Teri took
part in the Community Fest parade, and Penny told stories both at
the Fest and at the Milwaukee County Zoo's reading party. Michael
Trowbridge of Muskego won the gorilla raffle. A summer reading
evaluation workshop was held at Waukesha.
An interlibrary loan meeting bras held. The new equipment will be
IBM, and the new system will be in place by the end of the year.
We have put together packets of materials to be given to the
parents or guardians of minors who register for library cards.
The material informs them of their responsibilities for materials
borrowed by their children.
36 certified letters went out to people who owe more than $20.00
each. They must settle up or find the amount in question on their
tax bill. Non-residents or renters will be referred to a
collection agency.
The Muskego Creative Photographers' Guild is the September Artist

On the Saturday of Muskego Co.nmunity Fest, we received complaints
from our patrons who could not find parking spaces. It was our
understandimg that a small block of spaces would be set aside for
planners, asking them to consider our needs next year.
