her the best of luck and success in her new position.

attendance of 160 persons (parents and children). A thank-you letter was .sett
to VFW Post 10131 and the Ladies Auxiliary. The carpet in the meeting room
was cleaned after the party. For this we thank the Cape Canaveral City
Officials.
C. Janitorial Services: Upkeep Enterprises won the bid. They started cleaning
our library this week. We will pay them $580.00 monthly. We hope this
arrangement works out much better than the one we had previously.
D. Videos: The amount of $1600.00 was transferred from fines and fees for
the purchase of 6 video display units. We are going to use four to make
a tower and the other two will be installed in the end panels in the
adult collection. Videos will be shelved on these units with beepers.
This will make it easier for the Circulation staff and will leave us
additional space in the working room to shelve our magazines.

training the staff (CLSI off & on line system) .
12/28 Gaylord was shut off and we started using CLSI off-line systems.
