The meeting was called to order at 4:00 P.M.
In attendance: Ed Hershberger, Jacki Rubin, Nancy Butler, Anne Kantola, Jamie Bell,
Lynn Lewinkski
The minutes were approved as written.
Director's Report: The library is doing well and is ready for the winter season. There
was a full house for the Curious George event which brought a large crowd of stuffed
animal friends that spent the night. A very fun event.
Budget and Stats: Quite interesting to review the full year's numbers.
Staff: Doing well..
Friend's Report: Working hard for the opening of Festival of Trees which will be
spectacular, as always.
Old Business: Inventory: Completed at long last. We are interested to know what our
insurance coverage is for all these books. Bessie Jo needs to let us know.
Carpet and Shelving: John from Adventure Floors has done a great job with the carpet.
Bids are being received and reviewed for window coverings which Friends are graciously
purchasing for us. Students from MDHS really helped a lot to move books and furniture
for the re -carpeting of the back rooms of the library. The east side of the library
carpeting will begin next week.
Biblionix Apollo: Anne has chosen this system for the library. We need to help go
through the system to see how it works and become knowledgeable to let the community
know about these services. As Apollo is explored we can think of ways to promote it to
the public.
Friends Basket: Excellent entry. We hope to enter baskets in years to come. Anne will
deliver to the Festival of Trees on Monday.
Job Descriptions: Finished and turned in before evaluations. Next meeting we will
evaluate Anne.
Shelton Foundation: Gave us $2,500 to use toward shelving. The costs have been
greatly discounted which allows the library to get closer to completing this project.
New Business —
Disposal of Records: This continues to be a work in progress.
Hospital Aux.: For the first time ever we have been denied monies for our baby books
for newborns and non-fiction medical expansion. Since this is a good program we will
look at alternate funding.
Curtains: Discussed with shelving. Two quotes have been received with a third expected
shortly. The Friends will confer and decide on the winning bid in a short time.
Building Plans: Discussion came up of the Police Department moving to its own
building as fits its needs. It would seem the Idaho Power vacated building would be
perfect. Maybe it's available at a reduced cost... The Board is still looking forward to our
work session with City Council.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:00 P.M.
Our next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, December 15, 2010, at 4:00 P.M.
