LIBRARY DIRECTOR'S REPORT - Steve Brown
Library use continued to be strong in September and October, with October circulation
expected to exceed 50,000.
Technical Services Supervisor Lana Dibble has resigned to accept a position at another area
library.
The city has scheduled a meeting next week to consider current budget contingency plans due
to current economic conditions.
Building maintenance staff has made progress on repairs to the library's multiple roof leaks.
Shelving space is a definite concern with the continuing collection growth. A possible
additional range of shelving would temporarily alleviate this problem.

information service that will be available through the library's online catalog vendor.
