New cameras, lockdown button installed; summer reading draws hundreds
Summary
The library installed new security cameras and a lockdown button; trustees heard summer-reading statistics showing 74 kids registered and 487 books reported read so far, and discussed program attendance and outreach to neighboring towns.
The library director reported that the previously discussed additional security camera was installed and a monitor and a lockdown button were placed at the circulation desk; staff confirmed the system is functioning and the lockdown capability is in place.
On programming, staff said the summer reading program is running strongly: between June 14 and the meeting date there were 74 children registered, 70 programs offered, 231 adult program participants and 367 youth participants; books reported read totaled 487 so far (the director described this as underreported). The director also reported foot traffic for June 1 through the meeting date at about 1,783 visitors.
Trustees celebrated volunteer involvement and noted some coordination with neighboring Fairfax patrons using home cards at the Georgia library; they discussed outreach opportunities such as festival booths, 'book trunk' sign-ups, and improved website listings to raise visibility.
