Payment Approvals: 4/5/18 motion to approve by Jacki, with 2nd by Lola. All aye.
Budget and Stats: Project Accounting review: Linda's report on the building expansion accounts
helps us keep aware and on track.
Rural community STEM grant application will be presented to the Council 4/26; it will allow the
library to expand resources and programs.
LOT application is on hold until after the election.
Staff: Policy manual online is accomplished. It should ease the questions, concerns and protocol.
Inventory of the collection is complete and the .2% loss rate results show that we are way
below industry standards. No concerns. Happy staff, with the time consuming detail procedure done. Ed
motions, with Lola 2nd that we focus on a heavy weeding rather than a complete inventory next year.
Thank Amy, and Beth on 1 year "anniversary". A lot of progress has been made towards the
expansion project goals.
Casey's workshop focused on maker space and leadership. The idea of giving space to the
community allows for using tools, making, designing, and facilitating interactive problem solving. It is a
growing trend that will become as much a need as our collection has been. He received a special Cricut
cutter for vinyl and fabric, as well as an iPad for the creation of design models. It is much faster than a
3D printer, and has a wider variety of uses. Also, a block magnet set and $1000.00 for supplies.
Old Business:
McCall Public Library Foundation Articles of Incorporation were officially filed with the Secretary of State
April 12, 2018. This is an asset that we look forward to having, and to be working with those members.
Their secretary will keep copies of Articles and Bylaws in a binder in Meg's office.
MCIC Update not available as Lynn was unable to attend.
Donor Management Subscription has been well researched by Amy. There are many to choose from,
with all sorts of options and pricing. After discussion, Ed motions, with Jacki rd that we move forward
with the Donor Perfect program. All ayes. This will be a support system that will build a cohesive way to
keep track of all that is done with donors, ambassadors and progress of fundraising. Meg and Amy will
secure the subscription with the Tech Soup discount for libraries.
New Business:
The Stewardship Plan was discussed as a rubric that creates a way to be efficient and consistent with
how donations, and donors, are followed up with. It will tie into the Donor Perfect plan well.
(New Business, continued):
Beth Markley Naming Opportunity Artwork Proposal is that we begin looking into this, so that we have
something in place.
City Council Liaison report:
Work Session to discuss library funding options: April 26th 5:30 pm
