Review/Change of
Agenda
Review of Last
Meeting Minute
Director's Report
The month of Novem-
ber was full of change at
Norwalk Easter Public Li-
brary. First of all, we added
three new part-time li-
brary staff members to
work at our circulation
desk. These three positions
were replacements for in-
dividuals that had left a
few months ago. We are
thrilled with the addition
they have added to our
team. The second change
was the start of our storage
re-organization project.
We have been moving stor-
age cabinets around
within the library that
have been desperately
needed, but not affordable
within the budget. These
cabinets will provide a so-
lution for now, but we are
hoping in future years to
expand the building to
truly solve our storage
problems.
In addition to the stor-
age changes, the Library
Board of Trustees and Di-
rector Sealine are moving
forward to add an addi-
tional third full-time staff
member in the near future.
We have reached a point in
which we are no longer
able to function with Only
two full-time team mem-
bers and are looking for-
ward to the changes we
will be able to add with the
addition. Present),, the Li-
brary Board and Director
Sealine are hoping to add
the third person early next
year (2014).
Overall, the library had
over 5,000 visitors during
the month of November,
circulated over 5,500 items
between our print collec-
tion and digital collection
which includes 13 check-
outs for our new digital
magazine collection
(Zinio). We added 41 new
accounts to the library,
sponsored seven pro-
grams for adults with 34
participants, four adult
outreach services with 39
participants and 20 pro-
grams for children with
545 participants.
In the next month, Di-
rector Sealine will be
working on the FY15 and
FY16 budget proposal,
along with continuing to
update various collections
and job descriptions.
As always, if there are
any questions, feel free to
