Policy Manual: We need to address the following in our policy manual; emergency
procedures and archiving and preserving documents.
Automation: Anne has been working on adding the new books first in order to get
them on the shelves.
Building Maintenance: East side of the building is painted, hopefully the weather
will hold out in order to finish it. Ed noted that there is a place on the northeast
corner that needs addition wire brushing and then more paint. A thank you was sent
to Lumberman's for the donation of paint.
Board Member applications: No formal applications have been received. A
number of names were discussed as people possible to recruit.
LiLI Exp: A list of the participating libraries was passed around.
Movie Night: Some technical glitches were experienced, but overall it was a good
experience. Possibly more discipline and overseeing of children is needed. Parents
did just drop off children under 6 years old and then weren't available to pick up the
children at the end of the movie.
Mountain House: The Board signed a letter to the City Council encouraging them
to enter into an agreement with Mountain House for the sale of historical McCall
photos in the library's possession with a 10 % commission to the library.

will make the final decision and hopefully have the new employee working soon.
