Recently the Home and School Association hosted a Scholastica Book Fair. The fair was successful and over $500 was raised for the library. Rather than purchase more Scholastica Books, a decision was made to put the money into a special library fund to purchase books in non-fiction areas of the library that are weak and out of date. We need to fill in the holes.
Currently Mrs. Shierts and I are in the process of installing a new library program for checking out and cataloging books. This program is all on-line, which means that parents and staff can see what books our library has available from any computer. This change was made possible from a grant the school recieved from the Lion's club.
I have also sent all of our catalog records to a on-line company called Mackin. This company did a free analysis of our collection and has sent me a report telling me what the status of our collection is and where there are gaps that need to be filled by new books.
Having all this information and changes in procedures will make it much easier for the library to be in tip top condition for the next school year, when the library will be run by volunteers.
If you have any questions or concerns, please stop in and see me or send me an e-mail. Rae Trisko/librarian
