Old Business
Meg - Square Footage comparison - handout (put on Googie drive)
• We are a unique community, not the same as others given our influx of seasonal
residents.
• Notes: Bellvue library is currently small but is going through an expansion; Registered
users are library card holders; McCall library has a significantly larger number of
program attendance than all the other libraries.
• Other towns for Meg to compare with? Carol suggested speaking to ..... about who
attended Mountain Town Conference. Lynn - Bandon, OR; Whitefish, MT; Leavenworth,
WA
Linda - Music Society
• Met with Bob Hallock. The Music Society is not interested in partnering with us. They
have different needs. Bob is willing to help with fund raising when the time approaches.
• Suggest we meet with Bob in January - better to start thinking about fundraising
earlier
Dean - Population Growth (data presented to the hospital 3-4 months ago)
• Brought handouts, excerpt from hospital's study
• "Primary Service Area" is closer to what library's service area would be
• In last 10 years, modest growth to service area - 5.4% growth
• Less that 2% growth anticipated for over next 10 years
• Small numbers of increase in permanent residents
• Age distribution
Meg - attended a webinar. Met David R. Moore, architect. He sent a proposal under $25,000 to
show what we would get from a business like his. He has a large amount of experience with
libraries. He says what we need to bring to the table is our community analysis - Planning
conceptual budget, community involvement.
So we need to figure out the surveys.... maybe a subcommittee should be formed. Assessing
library services. Meg - see if Salmon or Belvue used surveys to assess library services.
Subcommittee -- Karen, Meg, Lynn, Diane
Think about the audience, way to implement survey, etc.
Announcements
Meg - look on Google Docs for documents put up there by Andy
Karen - Invite Lynn to share with google docs
