Director's Report: Di-
rector Julie Wells reported
77 new patrons registered
for Library cards during
August and there were
8,608 items circulated dur-
ing the month. The instal-
lation of the two butterfly
chairs have caught the eye
of patrons driving up to
the library and hopefully
will be used by the public.
Outdoor benches that
were once in the library
lobby are now in the ga-
for the installations.
Director Wells men-
tioned the bond for cam-
eras and keyless entry sys-
tem for the library was
passed by the City Coun-
cil. The Director will com-
pile quotes for both sys-
tems for a presentation to
the Board. Julie Wells had
recently attended a library
security workshop and
came away with real-life
stories and experiences of
the presenter from Char-
lotte, North Carolina and
their main library with 12
branches.

Andrea Johnson told of
being on track in the sec-
ond month of the new

of the 'Million Penny Chal-
lenge' being passed to
Donna Kitterman and
school associates to con-
tinue the fund drive for
improvements at the li-
brary.
The two trustee vacan-
cies still exist and the pub-
lic is being urged to con-
sider being a candidate for
the Board. The meetings
are typically once a month,
for an hour with the pro-
grams and direction of the
Library being discussed
and planned. Interested
people are asked to apply
at City Hall for an appli-
cation.
New Business: The
long-standing tradition of
libraries being quiet will
be continued by asking
ply turn them off upon
entering the library. Signs
stating this are being de-
signed to remind patrons
of this simple courtesy to
others and will be posted
in the entry way and cir-
culation area.
Trustee Andrea
Johnson mentioned a soft-
ware program called
"Mango" that is a lan-
guage development pro-
gram for young and old
alike. Director Wells will
investigate the usefulness
of the program, if other li-
braries use it, how they use
it and the cost.
