budget this year. At the November meeting we will have a better idea of how much
money to transfer to the Capital Improvement Fund in December.

ST A TISTICAL REPORT: Meeting room use may not be accurate due to the way
meetings are counted in the Prescott Room. They are only reporting outside users of
that room. Next month will include Library use as well as outside users. Inter library
loan was used quite a lot in September. The number of computer users in the library is
almost equal to the number of borrowers.
LIBRARIAN'S REPORT: Joe reported that Cottonwood night went very well. There
was good use of the bussing service to and from the school. Joe's priorities continue to
focus on planning and policy at this time. The Library insurance business has been
transferred to the FEE Insurance Group. The Staff In-service day centered around the
seven habits of highly effective people. They day went very well. Panic buttons are in
the process of being installed. We are still expecting to start the roofing project in
October. We have a new art exhibit in the Coffee bar area. The Library is a sponsor of
the Scary Stories event in October. The Technology Center is working on a project to
replace the catalog computers; the second phase will be updating the software on those
computers. Joe will be gone the last week of October for the MPLA Leadership
Conference in New Mexico.
