LIBRARIAN’S REPORT
JanuarylFebruary, 2000
It always amazes me how much we get done behind the scenes, despite visitors,
phone calls, e-mail, and paperwork. The only problems in filing the annoying annual
report electronically arose because the software design was clumsy, necessitating
lots of time wasted. We couldn’t figure out why we would type in information and then
not be able to save it. It turned out the state had designed a 20-minute time-out
feature. In other words, if you didln’t finish a section within twenty minutes, the
program wouldn’t accept your wolrk. Such an arrangement demonstrates the state’s
lack of awareness of real-world interruptions. I finally figured it out, when what I did
before and after hours would save, whereas other times during the day, it would not.
The moving quotes came in substantially below budget, and we have selected a
firm, providing they can meet the city’s insurance requirements.
Clarie Smith framed a picture of the library. It’s beautiful work.
A crimson maple was donated to the new library site in Ray’s name, and Susie
Corcoran is writing a grant to the Day Lily Society to pay for the day lilies on our
landscaping plan.
The usual meetings, programs, and projects are on-going, except that we have
been doing some pre-moving planning and weeding. Charlene has been updating our
fixed assets inventory, so we can easily mark what items we are not taking with us.
The city is thinking about a sale of furnishings and equipment, as things are left from
the PD remodeling, and we will have some items, as will city hall. Other departments
have requested some of our old shelving to meet their storage needs after the city hall
renovation has been completed.
e
After I had prepared the bac:kground paper on public access Internet issues, I
was asked by WCFLS to give a presentation to the Act 150 Planning Committee. Due
to schedule changes, that became a paper, using excerpts from our materials
selection policy, and from the Internet issues paper, as well.
Tom Hennen from WCFLS paid his annual visit to discuss system services. I
have asked him to be a guest at a luture meeting so you can meet him.
