Mashpee Public Library <br /> GREAT NECK ROAD <br /> MASHPEE, MASS. 02648 <br /> LIBRARIAN'S REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER 1979 <br /> During the month of September 635 materials were circulated. <br /> Adult books totaled 396, Juvenile 107, paperbacks 84, periodicals <br /> 48. Of these materials 48 were from Interloan. <br /> Application has been made for FY • 80 state aid. On September <br /> 28th a regional meeting was held at the Falmouth Library to hear <br /> testimony pro; and con on proposed changes for state aid and library <br /> personnel standards. While towns the size of Mashpee could <br /> benefit from some recommendations, some of the larger libraries <br /> would have to curtail some services and acquisitions. <br /> On Friday, October 5th, a regional meeting will be held at the <br /> Yarmouthport Depository to discuss service to the homebound, and <br /> materials available to the blind and handicapped. <br /> The air conditioner has been installed and is working. The <br /> dehumidifiers were sent to the police department in error. Another <br /> order has been placed with Sears for two units. <br /> • Batteries for our emergency power have been changed, and shutters <br /> on windows facing the parking lot will be replaced. The present <br /> ones are deteriorating. <br /> Downstairs is now ready for use. Shelving is needed for books, <br /> and a room plan should be devised for best utilization of available <br /> space. <br /> I have asked the Town Accountant for a financial statement of <br /> several of the library accounts. When the bills are paid for the <br /> air conditioner installation and the dehumidifiers the former <br /> revolving account and a good portion of the money Prom the Library <br /> Fund will have been expended. The state aid money has not been <br /> touched. <br /> Gloria Selander <br /> Librarian <br /> 1 <br /> • <br />
