The drywall and plastering have been completed. The restrooms now have walls and a new entrance. The painting has begun. The subway tile for the restrooms has been delivered. Roof – Work has begun on the roof. The terracotta roof tiles have been removed and a grey toned metal roof is being installed. The North Library parking lot remains blocked off for safety reasons. HVAC – A new motor for the heating and cooling system has been installed on the south unit. Service Improvements Library Hours - Our plan to increase hours the Library is open to the public was pushed back until budgeted vacancies are filled. We submitted to the City Administration a phased approach to reopening the library each day of the week. Circulation Equipment – The circulation software has been upgraded; this fixed a problem with our check out equipment. Project Progress Budgets – The Library’s Budget and Capital Improvement Projects were submitted. Plans for April Building Improvements  Bone Springs Art has begun cleaning and repairing the tiles on the Tree of Knowledge in April. We are still attempting to contact the metal artist for repairing the metal work.  Tasia Ramage will create more public art in the Library. This includes two skylines of Roswell, nature painting on the children’s pillars, and a water theme wall painting by the koi pond. The Friends of the Library have donated $5,000 for this project. Service Improvements  Prepare to reopen the children’s area.  Create in the children’s area computer stations for students to use to complete work assignments. This homework help area will include four repurposed computers without access to the internet, but do have access to a word processing program. The four computers will be networked to a printer. New Mexico State Grants-in-Aid funds will be used to purchase the printer and we will use donated funds to allow us to offer free printing for school related projects.  Purchase a new scanner using New Mexico State Grants-in-Aid funds.  Purchase two computer cameras for online training using New Mexico State Grants-in-Aid funds  Plan with Hispano Chamber of Commerce a Cinco de Mayo celebration on Saturday, May 8. Issues and Concerns Approve the Play and Learn area funded by General Obligation Bond B Funds and donations. 21  MARCH 2021 MONTHLY REPORT ATTENDANCE REVENUES 2021 2020 2019 2018 MUSEUM 472 489 1464 1710 2021 2020 2019 2018 EVENTS 0 30 115 86 ADMISSIONS 2,553 CLASSES 0 165 241 236 CLASSES 2,266 1,156* 4,276 7,212 PLANETARIUM 0 142 407 312 PLANETARIUM 0 871 1,191 1,242 SCHOOL/ADULT TOURS 0 237 249 228 MEMBERSHIP 2,610 1,465 2,885 3,410 FACILITY USE 0 713 233 804 OUTREACH 0 0 215 0 FACILITY USE 0 250 0 200 VOLUNTEER VISITS 10 1 18 9 STORE 4,002 2,269 6,234 5,829 MUSEUM BUSINESS 2 MARCH TOTALS 11,431 4,855 14,586 17,893 MARCH TOTALS 484 1,777 3,055 3,791 YEAR TO DATE TOTALS 23,493 23,558 30,620 36,060 *Class monies were returned due to cancellations.
