Librarian's Report
Hope this has been a good month for all of you and you have found time to read. August into
September is a time of transition for the public library, and it has been a bumpy ride. As you
can see from the stats, business continued to be strong. In addition, for some reason, the
number of incidents surpassed the total of the previous three months and that has continued
in September. But, stafffmalized plans and have begun fall programming.
CLASS has over 700 registrations. Classes started this week in multiple locations. Pre-school
storytime in Youth Services is back in action and the Imagination Station is busy. It's always
good to see children and books together.
With rain, water comes inside - sometimes. We have two areas of concemthat we are trying
to solve. We have ordered the solutions, but are waiting for the repairs. We also had some
sewer pipes crack this week and they were replaced quickly.
It looks like Cheney Construction plans to start on Sept. 30, probably with the electrical floor
boxes and possibly dividing the machine room into three smaller rooms. We have not been
hearing from them, and have had to make two requests for information. Once the work
begins, it will really engage us and push us through the fall. We should have some pricing on
furniture by the end of the week and we've selected a concept for new hanging area signs.
.
As I mentioned previously, the incidents are regular and varied. This week, I have barred
three more individuals from the library for 6 months. Our security cameras once again
provided the evidence necessary to charge two juveniles with destruction of property in the
Cafe Choices. The police were familiar with these kids. There wasn't much damage, but we
will pursue it. The other incident involved a mother not watching her child and then cussing
out staff loudly when we turned off her computer. She was a repeat offender. We have a new
security guard and he is doing well patrolling the building with interest and awareness.
We have a few events this month. Lori Berezovsky, our Outreach Coordinator, has organized
several staff to march in the Santa Fe Day Parade on September 25. The visibility and
community participation will be good for us. Also, Sandy Wilcox and the Social Committee
have organized the Dept. Heads into cooks for an all staff appreciation breakfast on Sept. 23.
This has been a challenging year and day to day, our employees come in and do a fabulous
job with few complaints. We want the breakfast to be relaxing and tasty.
Ifs policy review season. You can only handle so much at one time, so we'll try to bring 3-4
a month, allow sufficient time for review and discussion. I'll try to balance this with the more
complex or big change policy and smaller .updates. This will take us through the end of the
year with Board discussion, but it's usually a healthy and clarifying process.
Let me know if you have questions. You can e-mail anytime. See you on Tuesday moming.
