City Librarian's Report
January 18, 2000
Goals for the Year 2000
We have developed our "New Years Resolutions" for the Year 2000. These goals
are used as the basis for budgeting and prioritizing activities for the coming year. As a
part of this process, I ask library managers and supervisors to outline their department
goals and share them as part of the planning process. The Library's "New Year's
Resolutions for Year 2000" and "Accomplishments for 1999" are attached for your
review.
13`h Annual Poetry Month
January is "Poetry Month" in the Children's Department. Any school age child in
elementary or middle school who writes a poem and brings it to the library will receive a
free paperback book of poetry, courtesy of the Friends and the Library Foundation. This
year's theme is "Doe, Ray, Me! Make Music with Poetry!" Poems can be on any topic,
but those related to the theme are encouraged.
All participants are invited to read their poem at the Open Mic Reading on
Wednesday, January 26th at 5 PM, in the Children's Room.
Children's Activities
During December, we did a total of 20 programs including: 2 Monday Story
Times, 2 Preschool Story Times, 3 Toddler Story Times, 3 Thursday Story Times, 2
Saturday Story Times, 3 class visits to Easton, and 5 programs at schools. These
programs were attended by a total of 742 people.
Library Tours and Instruction
On December 13th, English as Second Language students from the Smart
Center and their 2 teachers came for a tour, library cards and demonstration of the on-
line catalog.
Volunteer Watch
A total of 25 volunteers contributed 109 hours of service to the library this month.
New volunteers included six individuals who helped at the holiday program serving
cider, passing out programs, and selling our new picture postcards. Two other new
students volunteers completed community service requirements for school and church.
One new volunteer has begun training for the Stories-to-Go program with children's
librarian Cathy Somerton.

Personnel
— The written examination for Account Clerk has been completed. The interviews
for the successful candidates will be January 19, 2000.
Donor Recognition
Group 4 Architecture has developed a means of honoring our future donors. The
concept consists of an ironwork vine with leaves. The ironwork would be on the railing in
the grand staircase. Each leaf would have a donor name engraved on it. I will have the
concept and the costs available for your meeting.
