1 The Logan Library Annual Report 1993 BOOKS GE LIVES

2 THE LOGAN LIBRARY ANNUAL REPORT 1993 "BOOKS CHANGE LIVES" t Urtpt. In medieval times scribes indicated the beginning of a book with this single Latin word. For the reader opening the book this one word signaled the beginning of an adventure that could run forward into the future or backward in time. It could change his way of thinking or reinforce his beliefs. It could instruct and entertain, or explain and justify the world around him. Books provide us with the wisdom of the ages and much more. For this reason, and many others, the Library selected the ' phrase "Books Change Lives" as its annual theme for Even with the extensive availability of the printed text today, the book has managed to maintain its almost magical hold on our imagination and intellect. Books play and will continue to play an important and significant role in our lives because "Books Change Lives." QUALITY OF SERVICE During 1990 the Library Board identified six needs for the Library to work on during the next ten year period. Since that time the Library has been actively involved in reviewing, researching, and identifying areas of concern, and 1

3 implementing solutions. The Library concentrated its efforts on Need #5 during., Need #5 is identified.as follows: "The quality of service provided by the Library needs to be maintained at a level of excellence that will meet the ever changing needs of the citizens of Logan." Efforts were directed towards the services provided to the public that appeared to be receiving the most complaints. The Library reviewed circulation policies and procedures, fines, delinquencies, lost and damaged materials procedures, and other types of charges to identify specific areas of concern. The identification of collections, shelving arrangements, and packaging of resources was also studied. Reviews of literature, surveys of other public libraries, and in-house surveys of the public were conducted. Solutions were proposed, tested, and officially implemented. Adjustments in procedures and changes in policy were made in the areas of circulation services, interlibrary loan services, fees and fines charged, and lost and damaged materials procedures. The changes have been well received generally and have reduced the number of complaints reported by the public. Significant attention was also given to collections, their identification, and their packaging. The audio visual collections were re-organized and re-packaged in order to provide the public easier identification and 2

4 access. A "Holiday" collection was organized bringing y all of these resources into one location which has reduced the amount of time needed by the staff and public to locate these high demand materials. These changes have resulted in major increases in the use of these collections. There are many other services provided by the Library that will also need to be reviewed. We will continue to examine these levels of service and will do all that is possible to maintain the services provided at a high level of excellence. CHANGES WITH LIBRARY AUTOMATION SOFTWARE: The automated library management system that the Library uses to manage its resources has been provided by lnlex, Inc. of Monterey, California. The Library has been associated with lnlex, Inc. for ten years. During 1993, lnlex, Inc. was purchased by Data Research Associates, Inc. of St. Louis, Missouri. Data Research Associates is an established vendor of automated library systems. They currently supply library automation to over four hundred library systems across the United States and Canada. Data Research has indicated their intention to maintain and develop the lnlex software and to continue to provide quality service to their customers. 3

5 GRANTS RECEIVED The Library received several supplemental grants.. during the past year amounting to a total of $46,87 4. The State Public Library Services Development grant was used to acquire resources for the Library's collections. With the funding received from this grant the Library added 1,411 new items to its collections. Providing the public with current popular resources continues to be one of the biggest challenges facing the Library. The funding received from the State is greatly appreciated. The Library received a Federal Title VI Library Literacy Grant for $23,500 to supplement the Bridgerland Literacy program. These funds assist in paying for the personnel and supplies needed to operate this community service. The Literacy Program continues to be very successful in its efforts to assist adults in developing and improving their reading skills. The program provided instruction to more than one hundred and twenty students during 1993 with the assistance of one hundred and fifty volunteers who donated nearly seven thousand hours of their personal time towards this service. In this particular case, books coupled with one-on-one instruction is truly changing lives. It is also noteworthy that one student in the Literacy program received the Utah New Reader/New Writer award for 1993 and the executive director of the Literacy program was awarded the Adult Education Leadership of the Year 4

6 ,. Award by the Utah Literacy Coalition and the Utah State Office of Education. In addition, the "Bike for Literacy' fund raising activity generated over $7,000 for j3ridgerland Literacy and provided the program extensive local, state, and national media coverage. TRENDS,NEEDS,ETC. The usage of the Library by the citizens of Logan is continuing to grow. Circulation statistics show an overall growth of 3.1 % during 1993, but the per cent of change when only City card holders is considered was 9.3 /o. Activity at the Reference desk also increased 5.6% over the previous year and the number of active library card holders within the City rose from 19,288 to 21,456 for an increase of 11.2 %. As the usage of the Library continues to expand we will need to address the issues resulting from this growth. Some of these issues include collection development, physical facilities, internal and external communications and other technologies, and staffing. The Logan Library plays a key role in providing the citizens of Logan access to a wide variety of informational resources. We cannot over estimate the importance of the Library's mission "... to provide a variety of informational, educational, and recreational resources to all of the people residing in Logan City in an atmosphere that encourages individual usage and inspires personal and community enlightenment". The Library is committed to providing this service. 5
