LIBRARY DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Circulation stats were up 3.28% from last year at this time.
The Interlibrary loans are up from last month. Cecilia anticipates interlibrary loans will
increase even more in the future due to the fact we are now on the state wide inter-
library loan system. She also let them know they will see a sufficient decrease in overall
statistics on next report due to the purging of patrons that have not used their library
card in 3 years.
Cecilia has informed the Library Board as of December 3, 2012 patrons will be able to
put fiction DVDs on hold.
The Book Sale was a success. A total amount raised was $6,700.
Cecilia presented a revised Meeting Room Policy in response to concerns that
businesses were using the meeting room for for - profit ventures. The library will direct
businesses to the NRH Centre. An additional change was made to the policy to allow 48
hours advance notice on library room reservations, rather than 8 hours.
Cecilia shared her 6 -month Plan of Action. It includes:
• Observe, listen, and learn
• Review policies
• Begin to establish a Friend of the Library
• Establish Library work groups,
NEXT MEETING DATE The next meeting will be held on January 17, 2013 at 6:00 p.m.
