McCaII Public Library Board of Trustees Meeting
July 9, 2010
Library Conference Room, 10:00 AM
Call to order : 10:10 AM
Attendance : Jamie Bell, Anne Kantola, Nancy Butler, Lynn Lewinski,
Ed Hershberger
Minutes : Approved as submitted.
Director's Report : The inventory is nearly finished and very few books have come up missing or
lost.
Budget and Stats : Fine, the youth/young adult books have been focused on the most, with
summer programs in mind.
Staff : Medical and family leave have left the staff shorthanded, but everyone is making the
best of time and keeping up with the very busy summer schedules. The longer hours have been
maintained and there is a huge attendance counted. Super!
Schedule: Remaining open 2 hours longer on Thursday night and 6 hours on Saturday until
September.
Friend's Report : No meeting, no news. Jamie asks for garden books and magazines for the Pump
House as they are favorite summer buys.
Old Business :
Inventory: Still waiting to join the rest of the State of Idaho online with our book catalog!
Now that the inventory is finished it will be a great asset to be online.
Carpet & Shelving: Anne does not know when she will schedule this project, as the library is
too busy now to attempt this. Volunteers will be contacted as timing is chosen.
Eames Collection: This wonderful collection is cataloged and shelved. The Star News
presented a fine story and photo for the Library. It is great to have their backing.
New Business :
Proctoring: Anne has been very busy with this activity. Who knew that there would be such
a demand for proctoring? Many students find summer work in McCall and continue their studies via
the Internet and library proctoring.
Budget: Ok, going forward.
2012: Planning ahead for additional staff, which will be needed to expand our services,
as well as maintenance. A new building would be so much better than the cost of maintaining an old
facility.
Building plans : Seems to be constant wishing...
City Council: The P & Z assessment report will scope and sequence the City's future building
plans. Let's hope for the new campus.
Adjournment : 11:00 AM
Our next meeting is scheduled for Aug. 18, 2010, at 10:00 A.M.
