Mary provided her notes for the Children’s Department.  The Teen Advisory Board will be electing new officers on August 10th.  The birdhouse building class was very successful.  Several employees from the Lincoln Home Center were present to assist the kids.  Storytime will resume September 7th.   Mary is going to do a thank you for those volunteers who helped with all of the summer programs.  She might send personal thank you notes as well as checking on prices for a thank you to be printed in the newspaper.
Nancy stated in her report that Maribeth from CKLS resolved several computer issues.  One new hard drive was purchased for a laptop.  The library has eclipse glasses for patrons to use for the August 21st viewing.  The city has increased our budget by $1,285.00 for the 2017 year.  Nancy received the 2nd 2017 appropriation from the city on July 20th.
Martin’s Floor Care is not interested in refinishing the hardwood floors upstairs.  He might have a friend who would consider doing this.  Nancy will check with him again.  Patti Winters is going to ask the USD 298 for the name of the company the school district uses for their gym floors.
Charlene and Sharon are planning to attend the Trustee Training on October 14, 2017 in Glen Elder.  Sharon has emailed Mr. Lange at the high school to see if his welding class would be able to build and install new hand railings on the front steps.
Patti Winters made a motion to pay the July bills, seconded by Sharon.
Sharon Luck made a motion to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Patti.

Next meeting will be September, 12, 2017 at 5:15.
