Librarian's Report May 2014
May is always a month of preparation as staff get ready in many ways for the busyness of the
summer reading season. So, we have less programs and classes on our events calendar and the
nicer weather changes our patron traffic patterns. A Class catalog for summer is out and on-
line. Registration for classes begins May 20. Morgan is actively working on the fall semester.
.SRI?: The big story at this time of year is always SRP, otherwise known as Summer Reading
Programs. I'll bring info to the meeting for your background and review, but with children,
teens and adults enrolling, we'll see 3,000+ participating in reading, programs, games and
parties. We'll do the yard signs again. I'll schedule staff for June or July Board meetings to
update you on the programs. The themes are Fizz Boom Read for kids, Spark a reaction for
- - teens and-Literary Elements for adults. Our creative staff works around and with those themes
to create fun and interest in reading.
New Board:The city got right on the job and appointed Board members. Neal Zoukas will start a
four year term this month. Mary Lemon will start a four year term, as well, after completing an
unexpired term. The new city rep will be Aaron Householter,the Mayor. That's quite a bit of
change for our 8 member Board. Plus, we'll have our new officers.
Bookmobile: We have a meeting scheduled on May 21 to begin discussions about the feasibility
of operating a small bus bookmobile in Salina. Can we shift resources just enough to do this
right? We know many people, especially children,just cannot reach our building and so we are
. not on their regular life radar. We know we are getting good response from other outreach
efforts such as the Lobby Stops and the Little Libraries. Active, relevant bookmobiles are more
along the concept of Library2Go or a library on the move. With community partners like United
Way and OCCK, we could develop some nice momentum in our services. Plus, it might be fun.
Check up/Check out: Kristi Hansen is working with the State Library and local pediatricians on
the new Check Up/Check Out program which will provide free books to be given to children at
the library after their well baby medical check-ups. This has enormous potential to reach young, •
new card holders. There are twelve libraries involved in this program across the state.
Outreach: Lori has 3 locations up and stocked with books. Hawthorne should be installed later
this month. They look good and are being used. She'll also add a 5`h location for Lobby Stops
next month. The Salina Reads Committee has narrowed the titles to four and will pick a book
next month. Lori is also organizing the Get caught Reading activity for the River Festival.
Tech: Melanie and staff have completed installation of a new wireless system that covers our
buildings. We get steady use of WiFi from patrons. They are also working on replacing all
switches. And our trainer Helen Gregg is launching tech clubs for kids.
It should be an interesting meeting. Thanks for being part of the public library.
