Adult Services Meeting Minute Archive

Anita opened the meeting with introductions of new librarians. Dana spoke about the upcoming Cimarron Opera tour in October and Melody of China tour in November. Dana passed around program survey’s from the 2012, 2013 programs. She pointed out that in most cases the 24 x 36 poster is the main bearer of upcoming programs. Dana asks that the posters coming from Outreach be placed in a prominent position 2 weeks before each tour. The INFO magazine usually comes in second. Other important ways of communicating upcoming programs come from word-of-mouth - family member to family member to friend to friend.

Clyde the Slide - Trombone player. Has been entertaining since retired in 1994. Flexible on prices. 405-943-4141

Marilyn Backus - MSL has been getting a lot of questions about iWeed. Try to avoid "no action", unless the book is checked out, either keep or withdraw. Make sure to look at every book, even if you know you want to keep the book, to make sure it is actually on shelf. If you would like to request that a subject be bought, rather than just a single book, email MSL to do so.

BYOB - Anita passed around a list of when the programs are scheduled for everybody to double check. It was mentioned that some people would like to see more information about Business plans rather than just business loans.

Outreach offers performers a chance to audition as an opportunity to introduce them to staff and for staff to ask questions as needed. This opportunity does not mean that the performer has an endorsement from Outreach.

Kudos to Kelly Riha and Mary Sholly for their work in the communities. Including their presence at: A+ Arts, Literacy Conference, and Old Timers Day.
Literacy Referral Service. This program is about to launch. This program came about from a suggestion from Nancy Anthony. We are providing the room, marketing, and volunteers. The goal of this program is not to teach participants how to read, but to connect them with somebody that can help them. The Literacy Council is working towards being more available to the community. They currently are working on updating their website and distributing new and up to date info.
