VI. Old Business:
Districting report. Meetings are losing enthusiasm. Latest meeting was Tuesday
and three board members attended. Decided to revisit the entire idea at meeting on March 1
when the Anne's evaluation is compiled. The telephone survey is supposed to happen in the next
few weeks, but needs details finalized quickly.
LiLI Express. Nothing has been done about McCall Library joining this yet, but
will be done shortly. Cascade, Boise and New Meadows are not joining. The board had decided
earlier to join on a six month trial basis.
Furnace. Works wonderfully, no odor, only problem was city employee forgot to
check propane level and it ran out, but was refilled promptly. Library is warm. Susie will finalize
letter of thanks to A1.
Fund raising
Presentation from Seth Jacobsen, publishing manager of Mountain
House Fine Art Company, (historicalwest.com) proposed printing select images from the library's
archives to generate revenue for the library. Library would get 50% of wholesale price when sold
at library and 10% of retail. Proposal was favorably received. Ed brought up the fact that the
fund-raising arm of library is the "Friends" and wondered if we should get into this venture as a
board.
VI. New Business:
Evaluation - Mr. Strope discussed the annual evaluation of the Library Director,
Anne. He was placed first in the meeting as he had another meeting to attend. Strope explained
the process in some depth, handed out the user's manual and lengthy evaluation forms. He
would like to get back the completed form(s) by March 18. Call him with questions: office 634-
1003, cell 634-6594, and home 634-5040. Board decided to have another meeting (potluck) just
to fill these forms out and review our own goals on Monday, March 1.
Note Cards. Sold 6 sets of these during the Winter Carnival. Silent auction
failed. Gay will write thank you notes to Meg's mom and brother for donated books on the note
cards.
Elections. Nominations for secretary went to Gay with Susie as backup. Vice
will remain with Ed and Christie was nominated as chairman.
VIII. Adjournment: 1745
Next Meeting: March 18, 2004.
Susie Reddick, Chairman of the McCall Public Library Board
