A ballot box was left at the Circulation Desk during the last two weeks of March and students were asked to answer a simple question about Library hours of operation. As a result, Library hours will not change next year. The main lobby of the Library looked like a flea market for one week in March as the Library held its semi-annual book sale. All proceeds go towards the purchase of new materials for the Libraries. Thanks to Tantramar High School students Tessa Mesheau, Hazen McNally and Alana Ward who ran the book sale.
Plans are afoot to have a permanent on-going book sale.
A cart loaded with surplus books will be located in a prominent position on the main floor of the Library. In September the Library offered a course in basic library skills. 140 students participated in the course which was offered over several days at different times. In March these students were asked to fill out a questionnaire about the class. The Library will be using the responses in designing similar classes for the Fall of 2000 and in tailoring our services to better meet the needs of students.
