Announcements - Dana
Dana gave a handout on Daycare workers and statistics for Oklahoma County, and stressed the importance of serving the children in day cares, because they are “at higher risk.” Dana will research the question “What does state ranking mean?” on this handout. Both Bethany and Belle Isle Libraries have helped sponsored training events for daycare workers.
Dana is checking into an idea or a sign or marquees that tells people what is going on in the library. Perhaps, it could say, “Today at your library….”
Summer Reading Online Survey Report, Mike Miller, PLA
Mike presented the Summer Reading Survey, and explained that conducting the survey online is easy to tabulate and cost effective. The first day online in “CyberMars” there were 100 responses. This method is not a random sampling, but provided 726 surveys. One conclusion is for more “tween” (children age 10 and 11 or 5th and 6th grades) programs.
