LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
]\lay, 1994
, May begins the season of vac,stions and we are seldom up to full
staff levels. There is lots of pinch-hitting, and we slip
farther behind. This is our second slowest month of the year, as
far as checkout is concerned, but the returns are heavy, and the
reference questions are more difficult as school ends.
The Summer Reading Programs ,are planned. Penny also visited Tess
Corners School and hosted one preschool visit. She represented
us at the system children's librarians' meeting.
Linda attended the WCFLS automation meeting, and Charlene is our
liaison to the county's multi-type library committee.
We received the annual Lakeshores payment, of $21,044.
Linda printed the 500+ pages which comprise our computerized
subject headings and their c:coss references. As soon as we can
try working with the adult cmd catalog ourselves, looking for
pitfalls in the procedure and writing step-by-step instructions,
we will be able to solicit some volunteer help for the next phase
of the subject heading project. I have entered enough
videocassettes to realize that we will probably not be able to
use volunteers. Phyllis is entering magazines so the system will
produce barcodes when it is -time.
