Manager's Meeting @ MNT 10/05/16

In Attendance: Djuina, Nathan, Maggie, LeRoy, Dena, Melissa (Host), Kitty, and Tula.

We started off with a tour of Montrose, which for those of us who are not familiar with its history, was a former church. Afterwards, we came back to the meeting room for a rousing game of LIBRO! Melissa and her A.M. came up with fun questions for us to collect spots for.

The topic for the meeting was Adult Programming.

*Montrose offers a  book club and are looking to start a citizenship class in the future.
*Looscan started a yoga/zumba class. It is great to offer if you can use the DVDs. Otherwise, if your staff or an outside teacher needs to be certified.
*Stanaker started an storytime for adults. Nathan says they set out popcorn and drinks for their movie; the numbers are up and down. Kitty asked about the passive coloring; kids went crazy for the words search and mazes.
*Park Place previously had a retired Col. who offered free meditation, which was successful. People of all ages seemed to enjoy it.
*Johnson- staff go to the senior home (Magnolia) to let them know what is happening at the library each month. They have had a safety talk held by HPD for the women in the area.
*Flores is doing a lego mania. Family movie time is popular.
*Smith has to close the ASMP up at 4:30 on Fridays to clean-up. Only trouble they have is with showing the movies vs. ages. They are setting the televisions back to back to keep the kids and teens on either side.

Maggie is looking for Christmas cards and Children's books for December.

Next meeting will be at the NEW Young on November 2nd.
