REPORT FROM THE LIBRARY ADMINISTRATOR:
Kate reported that Marcia Brown and Beverly Leake would not be at the meeting.
Kate presented the statistics. Circulation is down from last year probably due to the fact that the Bedford
Library was closed this time last year. Our wireless internet count continues to be strong, we continue to have
increases in new library cards, our database statistics are good, and we will be adding Resume Maker soon.
Handicap parking spots are being worked on to meet ADA requirements.
Downloadable books continue to be a problem but we hope to have the issues worked out soon.
Dave Walser was here on September 26th and we had 63 in attendance.
Friends of the Library Fall Book Sale will be October 14, 15, and 16.
Teen Read Week is October 16 through October 22 with several events including an author visit with Rosemary
Clement-Moore.
Flutissimo will perform in front of"Blooms of Enlightenment" on Sunday, October 30th at 2:00p.m.
