Summary
Shirley Gladish’s September 1976 library notes report nearly 600 summer visitors and roughly as many books circulated. The school-year library remained open during the school day, with self-checkout instructions, Friday help, Northland Library System support, and a proposed preschool story hour.
Evidence and limits
The reports document public library service and plans, not a catalog, circulation ledger, budget, complete staff roster, or proof that the proposed story hour began.
