i Mashpee Public Library P.O. Box 657 Masbee, Ma 02649 Circulation for the month of July 2004 totaled 13,046 items. That was 52 items less than the previous July. Business was essentially the same as one year ago. We have certainly felt the loss of Fridays. We probably would have circulated an additional four to five hundred items each week on Fridays_ l look forward to being able to reopen on Fridays in September. We are tentatively looking Enid-September, depending on the painting schedule. I have asked Ray Martini to try to schedule the project for September th and 1 oto'. Staff will be working those days but the building will be closed to patrons. I will also ask.some volunteers to come in to help with moving books off shelves so the painter can get behind them. Our new Circulation Assistant, Susan cannavo, started about two weeks ago. She is fitting in very well with both staff and patrons. She has learned the basics of the circulation system very quickly and has pitched right in t the front desk to take some of the burden off the rest of the staff. Both Janet Trask andIauren have been able to get other projects, which require time away from the circulation desk. Sandy'Price's job has been advertised and the closing date,iin August 13t". Sandy's last day is August 191". We will probably want to schedule a special Trustees meeting to make an appointment following interviews and recommendations, since the net regular meeting is not until th September 1 . I am presenting a final draft of the Long Range Plan 2004—2008. l hope to discuss it this evening and have it approved at the next meeting. This could be added to the special me6ting as an agenda item. The plan needs to be received at the I IBLe by October 3d, 2004. l have also completed the yearly AMS report, which is due at the IVIBLC on September 3, 2004. The financial section`of the state report will be due later this fall. }
