Ed moved to accept the Minutes for January, 2010. Jackie seconded. Motion passed.
Director's Report: Anne reported that she had a book that she thought could be sold on
the Internet. She gave it to Nancy to try to sell. Several staff members will be off over
the Spring Break holiday. The staff is preparing for the summer reading program. The
Budget and Stats report was deferred until our next meeting due to a computer glitch.
Anne said that she is writing a new LOT application for shelving. Anne explained about
WebJunction and told us about free online classes for library staff which will be given at
our library.
Friend's Report: The Friends have asked that another carpet estimate be sought since the
one Anne had was a little high. Anne is checking back with Terra Blue.
Old Business -New Board member: Lynn Lewinski was reappointed to the Library
Board by the City Council effective October, 2009.
Inventory: Anne reported that this year's inventory will be complete and exact and
finished within the next two months.
April Report: The Library's annual report to the City Council is currently being
completed and will be presented on April 22, 2010, some time after 6 P.M. All members
are encouraged to be present.
New Business -OCLC & Interlibrary Loan: After the inventory is complete, Anne
would like to add it to the OCLC data base which would be great for loaning books back
and forth between libraries. Currently we borrow books but do not lend them out. A
policy will have to be written for loaning books before it is approved.
New Carpet: See Friends report above.
Contact with Jamie: Jamie will be teaching in Idaho City until the end of this school
year, causing her to miss the next two meetings. We will conference call with her for
these meetings since she will be here this summer.
Conferences: Several conferences are coming up and the Board encouraged Anne to
attend the Southwest Idaho Regional Conference in Caldwell on April 14, and to
, encourage Meg to attend the Pacific Northwest Library Association Leadership
Conference either this year or next.
Building Plans: Any building plans will be tried to grant applications made by Carol
Coyle. The USDA has several promising grants and loans which Anne will bring to
Carol's attention.
