f. Director's Report
Jennifer Morrison, Library Director reported that our General Repair Technician has resigned so we are going to make
other arrangements to move some items out of the library. There is shelving that will be moved to surplus. City of
Cape Canaveral Mayor Rocky Randels offered city help to move the shelving. Jennifer advised him that we would
probably have Asset Management pick it up and take it to county surplus in Titusville.
Since the last meeting,that parking lot has been re-surfaced,the lines were painted and the flag pole was re-located.
Jennifer thanked everyone at the City for their help in getting this done.
Cara is working on weeding the children's non-fiction collection.
This morning interviews for the Library Assistant I were completed. This was an internal application so there were
two applicants. Both would be a promotion so we may have to do a security check. Selection will be made after
completions of security checks.
In May 2010 we had 66,000 in our collection. We now have 54,000. Many books were withdrawn and many new
ones were purchased. So our collection is newer and being well received by our patrons.
