LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
Betty Yarbrough reviewed circulation reports for the months of October, November, and
December. The total circulation in October was 11 ,597, in November 10,830, and in December
7,977. Mrs. Yarbrough stated that computer records reflected 8,000+ at one point during the
month of December; consequently the 7,977 total was inaccurate. Since there is a question
regarding a glitch in the computer, library personnel are now recording daily totals as a
precautionary measure and to provide a means of obtaining totals to compare with monthly
computer printouts. Ten storytime sessions, four puppet shows and one Little Tyke program were
conducted. Six volunteers contributed 60.5 hours of library service.
Mrs. Yarbrough reported attending several meetings including TCLIS in Austin and a
preliminary City of Euless Strategic Planning orientation meeting conducted by Ronnie Banner,
HEB ISD. She circulated press releases highlighting the Euless City Council's selection of Anita
Head as Euless Volunteer of the Year. Mrs. Head's hours of volunteer service were devoted to acting
as an aide in the library.
Mrs. Yarbrough also reported that she had been appointed as one of 18 representatives to
the state White House Library Conference Committee The state conference will precede the 1991
national White House Library Conference. The annual report signed by chairman, Kaye Munden,
will be submitted to the City of Euless. The library will close for renovations, March 19, the
week of the school district's spring break. During this time, new carpeting and shelving will be
installed. Furniture will be reupholstered and the adult education department will be moved into
