Children’s Librarian Mary reported that story time and leap activities are well attended.  She attended the CKLS summer library program workshop in Hunter.  This year’s theme is: EVERY HERO HAS A STORY. Teen advisory boards are being organized at various libraries to help with programs and provide suggestions for books, movies, activities, etc.  Mary is interested in establishing a teen advisory board to organize and help with programs and provide input. She presented various ideas on how this board would be structured, qualifications and guidelines.  See the attached sheet containing a mission statement, qualifications and guidelines. Mary got approval for a program grant from CKLS and will ask FLCL for a $200 match. 
Director Nancy reported that we received the first installment of $19,000 from the City of Lincoln. In addition the City also included the $750 for limestone repair. Half of the State Library aid money of $200 has been received. Thanks go to Jerry and Anne for hanging the historical pictures. KEY OFFICE sent a renewal maintenance contract for the copier for $279.11, the same price as 2014. The Lincoln County Tourism coalition is printing a new brochure.  It will cost $90 for the library to be included. Nancy presented a resolution to change the residency requirement of board members using the eastern 2/3 of Lincoln County. Game Day will be Wednesday, March 18 from 2-5pm during spring break. Fliers will be distributed at the schools and the community. Another one of the light fixtures in the addition has a bad ballast and RT has ordered a replacement.
