Library Letter News from the St Marys Community Public Library
From Our Director: Library Annual Report Today I am going to share three items with you, our patron: our library statistics from 2005, our accomplishments from 2005 and our goals for 2006. Your Library currently holds:
• 60,986 Books, broken down as follows: Adult, 72743; Young Adult, 4343; and Children, 31486. • • • • • • • •
Videos, 1510. Audiocassettes, 47. Book & Tape, 153. Book on Tape/CD, 1090. Magazine Subscriptions, 123. Newspapers, 9. DVDs, 657.
Music CDs, 613. We had 7735 Library Patrons in 2005. Library items checked out last year totaled 108,572. We borrowed 14,484 items from other libraries and loaned 16,091 of our items to other libraries in 2005, largely through our SEO Consortium. Our program attendance last year totaled 13,481. Of those, 2728 were adults, 1390 were young adults, and 9363 were youth. A total of 9,223 hours were logged by patrons on our public access computers. Our Meeting Room was used 371 times. 2005 was the first year for Baby Story Time and three book clubs for elementary school children. We focused on “Intergenerational” programming, offering programs for all ages on knitting, Raggedy Ann & decorating a room. We continued our collaboration with many community entities. We were delighted to speak at the Joint Township District Memorial
Spring 2006
Hospital Senior Supper for the first time last year. We also received sizeable donations from Prudential Cares Award and the Auglaize County Mental Health Association, and we developed our collection accordingly in the areas of business and mental health. We converted to a new computer system. Outlook for 2006 The Library Board is considering a community survey to let the Library know if it is meeting the needs of our patrons, with Long Range Planning to follow in the fall. We’re adding intergenerational programs, with crochet classes to start in March. Already in 2006 we added two new programs, Toddler Story Time and Tuesday Morning Book Group for adults. We’ve increased outreach, especially among the seniors at the Otterbein Sue Pittman, Library Director. Retirement Community. Soon the Library will be going wireless so that our patrons can use their personal laptop computers to access the internet from the Library, and games will be added to the youth area computers. In addition, an adaptive toy library will be started with toys purchased through grant money from Assistive Technology of Ohio. We have retained all your favorite programs such as Summer Reading for Youth, Preschool Story Time, Let’s Talk About It adult book discussion and the Annual Summer Artfest. We really do want to offer something for everybody at the Library. Susan Heckler Pittman Library Director
