Librarian reports rising story-hour participation, new orders and distributor delays
Summary
Library staff reported story-hour attendance ranging from one to five children when daycare students join visits, new children’s and middle-grade title orders, a local artist cards project, and ongoing supply delays from distributor Baker & Taylor leading to more purchases via Amazon under Connecticut Library Consortium contracts.
The librarian reported that story-hour attendance is 'bountiful' when daycare students visit but otherwise ranged from one to five children on other weeks; staff requested volunteers to read at story hour and expect the first volunteer soon.
Library staff have ordered many new books, including fall seasonal children’s titles and three new series popular with middle and upper elementary grades. The minutes say one main distributor, Baker & Taylor, has been unable to fill orders efficiently for months; through contracts with the Connecticut Library Consortium the library has made purchases through Amazon using consortium discounts. Staff also reported the local artist cards project is underway with images received from several artists.
