Review of Last Meeting Minutes
Director's Report
In February 2014, the Library saw 4,338 visitors and
circulated a total of 6,198 items. We also saw 34 new
patrons get library cards during that time. We sponsored
11 adult programs with 87 participants. Mary Kay was
also able to reach 12 more adult participants through a
presentation. Deb was able to reach 19 individuals in
the two times she was able to complete adult outreach
services. We are very happy with where we are at in
our programming and adult outreach services at this
time.
Youth services were able to reach 273 participants
with 18 programs; however, we did not have any teen
programs during the month of March. We will continue
to brainstorm as to how we can reach this underserved
population, especially as we continue with the restruc-
turing of staff and staff responsibilities in the coming
months.
We are continuing to plan for our Summer Reading
program, which will officially kick off Saturday, June 7,
with a Family Fun Day from 9:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
Norwalk Lions club has graoously agreed to partner
with us and serve hot dogs, chips and water for every-
one. We Will also have large bounce houses set up in
City Park and a few other fun and games for everyone
"irt the family.-Wehope to see many individuals that day
and get a large number of community members to sign
up for Summer Read (available for anyone birth through
adult). If anyone is interested in volunteering for that
da3 please contact Annette Clark (515-981-0217).
Throughout the month of March, Director Sealine
worked to interview and narrow down an acceptable
candidate for our Youth Services Librarian position.
Overall, we had many qualified candidates and very
happy with'the selected candidate. Director Sealine also
worked to update more job descriptions to continue the
staff reorganization plan. The latest job description cre-
ated was for a library page (also known as: library
shelver).
Fin all the Library Board of Trustees and Director
Sealine discussed the best practice of having board mem-
bers participate in 3-5 houtrs of library related continu-
ing educai (3 a ear[y Ibasis. It was determined that
the current group of board members prefers in-person
presentations by individuals such as our district library
consultant. We will continue to pursue this more in the
late summer or early fall, when more time is available
to do so.
As alwhys, please do not hesitate to contact Director
Sealine with any questions or suggestions. Thanks!
