Director's Report:
Budget and Stats: All reports appear in order.
Staff: Melody Dodge has been a great new asset. She is working well with staff and
puts an extra bit of energy into projects.
Friend's Report: No report at this time.
Old business
Summer Reading: This years' programs went especially well. Almost 2000 hours of
reading completed by participants .Fantastic stats! The space is just too small with the
huge numbers attending.
McCall's Birthday: Good discussion about all the fun and success of the City events.
McCall In Bloom: The Library was in competition with the Central Idaho Historical
Museum, supported by the kids in the P.O.T.S. program who won. Nice contest.
New Business:
Overdues and Fines: Anne is fine tuning the procedure manual for final editing and
review.
Fee Schedules: The new system needs to have a shortened step and time sequence to be
more efficient. Lynn made a motion to adjust this from last months approved process.
The motion passed by all present.
Inter -Library Loan Policy : This in process.
Policy Manual : Anne has found a format that will display and explain our information
well. Now the entry process will begin.
Loose Ends: Jamie Bell has requested we use her e-mail at the High School to contact
her. The address is : jbell@mdsd.org
Building Plans : The Council has this item on hold. We still feel it would be good for
the community to keep it an open issue.

Our next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday September 20, 2011, at 4 pm.
