4v46L,A-. It 11 s-- <br /> Library Services Coordinator's Report <br /> Elk River Library Board <br /> November 2015 <br /> Staff News <br /> Library Assistant Janice Connolly has worked for Great River Regional Library in Elk River 20 <br /> years. We really benefit from having her experience and that of our other over-20 staff like <br /> Pamela Wagman and Monica Miller. We congratulate her on reaching this milestone and thank <br /> her for all that she has contributed to the community in the past two decades. <br /> Jan is our best promoter of free library events like author readings,musical performances, <br /> 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten for early literacy, and other family programs. She is <br /> intimately connected to the local community and has lived through many life changes <br /> with her regular patrons. <br /> Zimmerman Schools Outreach <br /> Library Assistant Pamela Wagman presented five times to nine classes in one day(!)about <br /> library services for Zimmerman school children in October. That day, she reached nearly as <br /> many attendees as we had at storytime all month. Many of these students, currently unserved by <br /> a branch in their own community, got library cards for the first time, In November, she returned <br /> to do it again with a whole new set of classes. <br /> Storytimes <br /> Our three weekly storytimes of Toddler Time, Preschool Storytime and now Baby Bounce <br /> continue to bring in the largest portion of Elk River's program attendance —almost 250 attendees <br /> (or about 20 per storytime) in October. Storytime not only brings back into the library new <br /> parents who haven't been here since they were kids themselves, it bolsters the library's mission <br /> of literacy by helping train the next generation of readers. Thank you, Sandy Welton and Debbie <br /> Carron! <br />
