Directors’ Report
Circulation report: Some patrons took advantage of the ‘Book Boxes’ that were available for checkout during May. There were 51 children who participated in programming events for the local homeschool group and R-2 Middle School. Overall circulation continues to “look good,” and it is expected to “jump” during June and July because of the Summer Reading Program.
