Library director: expanded hours, perimeter cameras and 190 children enrolled in Dolly Parton program
Summary
The Hamler Library plans to expand hours to a six-day schedule, installed perimeter security cameras and reported 190 children enrolled in a county Dolly Parton Imagination Library initiative; the library is coordinating with the historical society and planning a fundraiser.
The Hamler Library director told the board the library will expand service hours to six days a week in a two-phase plan (shortened Saturday hours starting Oct. 1, then adding Monday in the new year), has installed exterior perimeter security cameras, and is exploring an affiliation and potential merger with the local historical society.
About the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, the director said the friends group "were able to get things going in May, and they have signed up a 190 children enrolled from the county. Each one receives the book for free each month," and that the friends group is planning a fundraiser (a Christmas tea on Dec. 13) to cover postage for the program.
The director also reported the library served 133 meals over two weeks as part of a lunch-packet distribution program and asked for board support as the library adjusts hours and security measures.
