Director’s Report
- Carrie presented the statistics for August and September.
- The library recently received monetary gifts from different organizations. The Noel Women’s Club donated $100 to the Noel Library. The Noel Methodist Church VBS donated $125 to the Noel Library, and a poet named Kate Schapira chose our library to fund raise for, as we were in a drought-effected region. Over one night, she raised $235 on her web site for the McDonald County Library.
- Carrie attended the Missouri Library Associaton’s Fall Conference in Springfield and had a great learning experience.
- The Homeschool workshops this semester are featuring a lot of science and safe experiments.
- Eric’s Pest Control was called recently to spray for brown recluse spiders and other little bugs that are coming in on patrons’ items. Also, the back door is leaking because the trap seems to be clogged that takes away excess rain water. Plumbers are coming this next week.
