Meeting called to order by Beth at 4:00p.m. in the History Room. Mary Woods gave a tour of the History Room and its various uses/resources.
JUNE SECRETARY’S REPORT and JULY INVOICES: Motion by Shirley to accept the report/invoice. Second by Karen. Motion carried. Report and invoice placed on file as submitted. (Note: cost of replacement of air conditioner/compressors was covered by CD funds, as the CDs are intended for).
NEW BUSINESS: Betty Althaus (community guest) presented a request to the board for and increase in the number of reserve options. Proposed an increase from the current 10 items to 15 items. Encouraged board to consider employees through Green Thumb to provide additional support if needed to manage the increase. Also requested a list clarifying current DVD titles. Current list is confusing and doesn’t distinguish DVD from VHS. Muriel reported a new system will begin in 2009 which will be much easier and provide better clarification of items. Muriel will research staff needs with the possible reserve increase and the board will take items into consideration. Mike Gilbertson is working this week on replacing the circulation desk countertop.
ALA (Amer. Lib. Assoc.) handout was provided and information briefly discussed. Mission Statement needs updating and to be added to the library’s web page. Members can check out other library’s mission statements and bring ideas to next meeting. Plan to discuss further at the September board meeting.
Meeting adjourned at 5:08p.m.
NEXT MEETING: Tuesday, September 30, 2008 at 4:00p.m.
