LIBRARIAN’S REPORT
JulylAugust, I998
We are taking part in a grant for children in home-licensed daycare who will be issued a
certificate by their daycare provider redeemable for a free book at their public library. The
books have been provided to us by the grant.
We received a check for$l,070 a book grant, provided by WCFLS. We applied it to the
purchase of Mitchell automotive manuals.
We continue to try to find time to explore Ihe statewide databases and useful Internet sites, in
light of the start of the school year. These have included irs.ustreas.gov, mapblast.com, and
been particularly happy with metacrawler.com, which accesses AltaVista, Lycos, Yahoo, Excite,
the U.S. Navy site, where we were able tcn find colored pictures of current insignia. We have
and several other search engines simultaneously.
A library user checked out a video and was surprised to discover it was purely for
entertainment, and contacted hislher Alderman to ask if that‘s how taxpayers’ dollars were
spent. That Alderman contacted our LB representative, who asked me. I responded that our
twelve shelves of videos, nine are non-fiction. It is my feeling that if asked, most library users
policy and our “roles and goals” planning embraced both entertainment and education. Of our
(also taxpayers) would feel we did not have enough popular material. However, when we do our
long-range plan, these issues can be examined again.
Circus Train was in town.
Penny and Jane represented WCFLS at the circus grounds, promoting reading, while the Great
Fall program sign-up is underway, includilng storyhours and the adults’ and children’s reading
groups.
City hall had to close at 1l:OO one day because of storm water entering the building, near the
electrical service.
The employee deficit I mentioned last month has improved somewhat, as one employee is back
full time. The part-timer will be out another month.
l.will be on vacation next week, except for Tuesday, when Plan Commission meets.
