Attendance: Ed Hershberger, Robyn Armstrong, Anne Kantola, Susie Reddick, Lynn Lewinski III. Minutes: Robyn and Ed reviewed minutes of December 13th which were then unanimously approved. IV. Staff Report: Anne reports that everyone is doing great! Our new employees are working out well. Lida has started visits to Sunbridge and the hospital in addition to adult Spanish classes. Anne turned in everyone's evaluations last week. V. City Comprehensive Plan Update: The next meeting is tomorrow at 6:00 pm; Lynn plans to attend. VII. Budget and Stats: Anne passed the information along to Ed for examination. VIII. Old Business: New Doors: The doors have been ordered from Pat's Glass. We may need an emergency door opener to maintain ADA compliance, but it's likely we'll just install a doorbell for people requiring assistance. LOT Money: The money will be available around October of 2007. Robyn will work with Anne to help fill out the grant application. Carpet: The carpet is not likely to be installed in January; the decision on timing rests with our donor. The good news is that the MOSS students (to whom we'll look for help) will be in McCall for some time to come. IX. New Business: Board Duties: Tabled until next time when Jill is here. Policy Manual Updates: Anne says that the state's annual report will be ready by the end of January as requested. Annual Evaluation: All evaluations, including Anne's, are done! Brochure: The new brochure advertising library services and longer Saturday hours looks great! SWIRLS Conference: Anne attended sessions on reinventing library environments and library merchandising. The theory is to arrange library bookshelves to resemble bookstore display shelving, which is leading to increased circulation at participating libraries. Anne brought pamphlets with examples and a catalogue for pricing. We're thinking about experimenting with displays in a soon -to -be -created youth center. Next month, Anne will propose an experiment with a few end slats and perhaps a kiosk. X. Adjournment: 5:10 pm. Our next meeting will be Wednesday, February 21st at 4 pm. 4/414,- d-i5-v-7 Robyn Astrong, Chair U bate
