McCall Public Library
Board of Trustees Meeting
March 13, 2003
The meeting was held one week earlier due to the absenteeism of several members.
I. Call to Order: 5:24
II. Attendance: Robyn Armstrong, Ed Hershberger, Anne Kantola
III. Minutes: January minutes were read and approved. No formal meeting was held
in February due to the weekly Strategic Planning meetings.
IV. Staff Report: Sue and Pat are at a children's conference this week. Pat's last day
will be April 5. Sue Rost has agreed to work 18 hours per week. Schedules need
to be worked out for this transition of the Children's librarian position. Mary Jane
has increased her hours to 32 hours per week, which is in line with her benefits
plan. This increase should help cover the duties vacated by Pat.
V. Budget and stats: The Winnebago Spectrum program went down this month, but
Anne was able to recall most of the inventory during that time. These gitches
happen in new systems, but the staff says all is well now and likes the program.
VI. Old Business:
a. New Trustees: Two candidates applied for the two board members
position vacancies due to the resignations of Ed Hershgold and Connie
Grant. The two potential candidates (Christie Gorsline and Gay Foster)
submitted letters of interest, which were reviewed. They were
recommended for board positions if no other applications were received
by March 19. Anne will put the new board members recommendations on
the March 28 City Council agenda for confirmation.
b. Review volunteers: The volunteer effort for automating the library's
inventory is moving along wonderfully. There are 4-6 volunteers in the
library every day, and much is being accomplished.
c. Libri Foundation: The children's books list was reviewed for duplication
in the library so has not been ordered yet.
d. Friend's purchase: The Friends of the McCall Public Library have
purchased over $1000 of new children's books from the proceeds of the
Festival of Trees. We need to thank the Friends and will sign a card that
Anne will get next month.

New Business:
a. Web site: The library's web site needs updating. Robyn suggested that
this be added to Sue'S duties, as she excels in this.
b. 3 priorities: There will be a City luncheon on March 20 at Si' Bueno's for
the heads of advisory committees and department heads to share
information. Susie Reddick and Anne Kantola will attend for the library.
They will present the following 3 items as library priorities:
1. Automation of the library's inventory (short-term goal)
2. Policies
3. Districting/Expansion (long-term goal)
Refine strategic Plan: Council presentation is on April 10.
Adjournment: 6:20
