Director's Report
During the month of
January, we had 4,563 vis-
itors. The library circulat-
ed 6,331 physical items
and 193 items within Wil-
bor (our digital collection),
for a total of 6,524. There
were 42 new accounts cre-
ated throughout the
month.
January saw eight adult
programs, 19 children's
programs, and one teen
event. For the adults, we
had 32 participants, major-
ity of those participants
were part of our Novel
Year program and our
Learn@ your library pro-
grams. Children's pro-
gramming, including our
story times, saw 200 par-
ticipants. We did not have
any teens show up for our
Teen Lego club. We are
hoping to develop some
new teen programming
that will attract teens to the
library.
The majority of the
month was spent on up-
dating policies for our ac-
creditation with the State
of Iowa. We have also
been working, and will
continue to work on the
strategic planning 5-year
plan for the library. Our
hope is to have a complet-
ed plan as soon as possi-
ble as a guide to where the
library is headed over the
next few years.
