The wireless network expenditures show up this month <br />as we prepare to switch to the city's T -1 line for internet access. <br />Circulation statistics are down some this month compared to last year, but <br />library visits have increased. One hundred eighty new cards were issued. <br />We had 31 memorials for $680. <br />Eleven programs were held for children with 206 children and 91 adults <br />attending. These included a Harry Potter program, a Read -a -thon and a <br />Pinocchio program as well as visits from some day -cares and Clovis Graves <br />housing. Children's Outreach held 17 programs with 357 participants. <br />In Adult programming, there were 3 programs which reached 54 people. <br />There were 30 interlibrary loans. <br />Joyce Ellis, library employee, was introduced to the board. She described <br />her various jobs, ordering office supplies, selecting and processing <br />audiobooks, processing videos, cds and dvds. She also handles the income <br />tax forms distributed at the library each year. In addition, she works at <br />the circulation desk. <br />
