Historical May 1987 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
The Kingsbury Kiosk will be four years old this May and we are still searching for new ways to serve our patrons better.
We now have some young people who have volunteered an hour or two per week to shelve, call patrons to pick up their books, empty the drop box, help with displays, and tie up books to be returned to other branches. Volunteers include the following people: Mary Wiltenburg, who has been helping the longest, Vincent Williams, Secorie (Cory) Henderson, Tim Largen, Beth Bynum, and Ariele Lesmeister whose mother Jeanne Breeze has the oncea-month story hour on Saturdays on the lawn of the Kiosk.
The first one was held April 11 at 28th Ward Democratic Headquarters because of rain.
Although there was a small group, they spoke enthusiastically about it.
The library volunteers will be the nucleus of a library club which will get started this summer. (When I was a junior high librarian, I always had a library club so I could teach students research skills and along with this, as a compliment, would be a summer reading program.
When the Kiosk opened, we had only the regiscope to photograph all transactions.
In January 1986, we got the terminal which opened many doors and possibilities.
We can find out which of the other branches has a book on the shelf or when it will be returned or if it is on order or is being processed in the catalog department.
We are able to call the branch that has the book on the shelf and many times get it for the patron the same day or within twenty-four hours.
When you ask us to get a book from another branch, please give us the number where you can be reached during the day; most patrons give their work and home numbers, and indicate which to try first.
In the short history of the Kiosk many people have come and gone.
A new person around the Kiosk is Officer Ferdinand Simmons of the 7th District.
He can be seen around the Four Corners Plaza and often in the Kiosk.
But our primary purpose is to lend books to our neighbors.
Many have been very lonely on the shelves during the winter months. Won’t you please come and take them out and hug them and kiss them and make them feel wanted? Also, I want to especially thank Pat Kohn for the time she donated to the Kiosk earlier this winter.
She gave a lot of class to the place on the days she was there.
