Presidents Report: Dave Graber
This Past year has continued to have significant advancements with our 2 scanning projects Newsletters and magazines these groups will say more but I want to congratulate all the hard workers working on these programs. Our librarians as always are doing a great job helping our many visitors. It is very nice to hear people that have been to the library comment how friendly and helpful our librarians are. Several of our staff know our material excellently they can send a person quickly where to go to find what they are looking for. Our Newer librarians are sturdily becoming more proficient thanks to the more experienced staff.
The library is open from Tuesday through Saturday It would be great if we could find another librarian so we could be open from Monday through Saturday. The library is the largest nudist library in the world. We have over 20,000 different pieces of materials they are ; attached sheet. There is a new project headed up by Paul La Valley to collect educational articles out of our many magazines and consolidate them into a searchable form. We have started a dialog to share duplicate material with the new NNF Library (TNS). If any of the other nudist library’s that are being considered we will work similarly with them.

Scanning Committee Report: Ed Westen
Bound Material Scanning and Inventory Report: January 22,2016 One year ago, on January 16,2015,1 reported to the board that the scanning department had finished processing a total of 4,241 magazines and that they were available for patron use. Now, after a year of hard work by the scanning department including Mark, Terry, Tom and Gary, I’m pleased to say that the number of scanned and available magazines stands at 7,647, an impressive achievement!
Similarly, a year ago I reported on the creation of the magazine shelf list which is a compilation of the data from the inventory of our magazine collection. The magazine shelf list now includes all the magazines in our collection along with the location of archived copies, the location of bound copies, whether the item has been scanned or not and whether we have any copies in surplus. The shelf list contains data for all 11,219 different magazines in our collection. As more scanning is finished, as new items come into the library and as surplus is removed the shelf list will be updated so that it continues to remain accurate. Lou and Jim have compiled data on the scanned newsletter collection and a newsletter shelf list has been created. It shows that we have 7,266 scanned newsletters. The library has many more that are not yet scanned or whose scans are not yet stored on the patron computer. The work is ongoing. Paul has assisted the scanning department by checking files stored on the patron computer and compiling a list of magazines that we would like to obtain in order to fill out our collection. He has used the scanned archive to gather information for study and for publication and can testify to its considerable value as a tool for researchers.
Finally, some of our collection of videos has been converted to digital files and uploaded to the patron computer. In time, the present television and video player can be retired and another patron computer or even two can be added to that area of the library. Thanks to all of the volunteers who have helped to make this past year so productive.
