LIBRARY DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2020
LIBRARY NEWS
The Library's carpets were cleaned over Labor Day weekend.  Jodi Bailey continued to work with the Village Administrator & the Budget Committee on the Library's 2021 Budget.  The Library was awarded funds through the "DPI CARES Act" grant toward the purchase of a self-check machine.  The remaining cost will be covered under the Village's "Routes to Recovery" grant.  The self-check machine arrived on Oct 1 & we're awaiting SCLS setup assistance.  Katy & Jodi collaborated with Poynette Middle School ELA Staff to assist students with Overdrive check-out of free e-books.  Three generous memorial donations were received in September.  The Friends of the Library purchased some replacements & added new titles to our Early Reader collection.  We continued offering Curbside Service in September.  There were 26 Curbside pick-up appointments scheduled by patrons from 09/01 to 09/30.
