REPORTS
4a Librarian's Report
A. Monthly Statistics:
Director Rodne provided an overview of the statistics and programs for the months
of December 2021 through January 2021.
B. Donations:
Rodne reported that during the month of December the Library received a $100
donation from Pam and David Brandt. The money will be used to purchase non-
fiction books for the adult collection.
C. Programs:
Director Rodne provided an overview of the Library's programs and events for
December and January.
In Youth Services, 28 programs were held between the two months with 360 in
attendance. In Adult and Teen Services, 16 programs were held with 142 in
attendance in December and January. In December, the Library launched its newest
StoryWalk® with Snow Friends, which included a scavenger hunt. Rodne noted that
around 115 children participated in Snow Friends scavenger hunt and claimed
prizes.
In January, the Library celebrated National Popcorn Day with 100 bags of popcorn
distributed to Library visitors. A craft was also available for children in the Youth
Services area.
In February, the Library celebrated Love Your Library Month and Valentine's Day
with small bags of candy to Library visitors. Additionally, Rodne stated that visitors
to the Library were encouraged to write what they enjoy about the Library on paper
hearts, which were displayed behind the Help Desk.
Rodne concluded that the Library has begun sharing its space with the Senior
Center and some Parks and Recreation programming while their building undergoes
renovations. Additionally, all voting in 2022 will also be held in the Library. All early
voting and election days will be held in the upstairs meeting rooms.
4b Friends of the Colleyville Public Library Report
Kay Newton stated the Friends met via online and agreed to not have their normal
Spring Book Sale, as the Library currently has limited space options due to sharing
meeting room space. As a result, the Friends have decided to hold smaller, themed

sales as their December mini -sale proved to do well. Newton added that the Friends
would also be open to collaborating with other community groups to bolster sales.
Additionally, Newton explained that while small book donations will still be
accepted, the group has started making appointments with citizens who have larger
number donations. Also, Newton noted that the Friends have begun limiting what
items they will continue to accept, including DVD's, CD's, VHS tapes and
audiobooks as these items are difficult to donate or sell themselves.

Denise Light reported the Foundation had met and received a $10,000 donation
from the Robert J. and Helen H. Glaser Family Foundation for the annual Summer
Reading Program at the Library. Pat Jones noted it was the 19th year the Glaser's
