DIRECTOR'S MONTHLY REPORT
GEORGETOWN PUBLIC LIBRARY
October 2012
HIGHLIGHTS
• The library was closed October 1-5 while staff completed badly needed housekeeping
chores, read shelves, and reconfigured the shelving for adult fiction. Members of the
Parks staff did the actual moving of the shelving while library staff removed all of the
books and then put them back on the reconfigured shelves. Inservice training also
occurred during this time
• The WOW!mobile did not operate the week that the library was closed for inventory.
Michele used the time to get caught up on paperwork and organize her collection. She
took two days of vacation later in the month, so Eric Lashley took the WOW!mobile to
its stops on October 12 and Sheri Miklaski drove the route on October 15.
• Entries in the 2012 Art Hop show filled the second floor galleries during October.
Other entries were hung at several locations in the downtown. The reception for the
show, which was held at the library on Friday, October 12, was very well attended.
• On Sunday, October 14, Jitterbug Vipers performed music of the 40s and 50s in the
library lobby. The live music event was sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
• Kalena Powell began working October 12 as the part-time children's services staff
member in charge of storytimes. Kalena is bilingual and will do bilingual storytimes the
second week of each month. She is also a registered yoga instructor who has been
teaching yoga to preschoolers for some time. She will have a yoga storytime the fourth
Thursday of each month.
• Rosa Garcia, Children's Services Specialist for the past 20 years, announced that she
will retire on December 31, 2012.
• New software added to the TexShare databases includes Learning Express Library
and Job & Career Accelerator. Learning Express Library contains tutorials for
learning such software as Word and Excel. These are welcome resources when we
are unable to offer computer classes.
STAFF ACTIVITIES:
• Eric Lashley met with the Friends of CTLS on October 15 for the purpose of
disbanding the organization. CTLS will be doing its own fund-raising from now on.
