LIBRARIAN‘S REPORT
JanualylFebruary. 1999
Final details necessary to prepare the furnitorelshelving bid materials, and preparation of the
annual financial and statistical reports took a great deal of time this month. The bid opening is
set for Tuesday, March 16‘h at 2:OO. Before: then, I need to get bids on moving the shelving, so
the city can decide on which shelving alternate they would prefer.
A patron who received an overdue notice cm an item she said she’d already returned contacted
the Mayor. Overdue notices go out every week. unless vacation or illness interrupts the
schedule. This patron’s item was found on the shelf, not checked in, and mis-shelved at the
bottom of a stack of magazines, a section which had been shelfread the week before by an adult
volunteer”al1 strange happenings. Our staff person apologized and explained that the item’s
return and the notice must have crossed in the mail, that there was no charge, and that the
record had been cleared. The patron was insulted, said our staff person was rude, and called
the Mayor. I am writing a letter.
Margot is taking an “Introduction to Reference” class via ETN.
Jane went to a workshop on local history-collecting, organizing, and preserving.
Tom Hennen, new WCFLS Director, was at the February APL meeting, and we will be beginning
work on the Crossover issue again soon.
Our T-I line will be operational soon. We’re waiting for a router.
We met with the firm who is designing the computer network for the new library.
