November’s
meeting was called to order and the October minutes were approved by Patricia

Mary’s
children’s department report: Five families
attended Brainy Babies. Ten kids attended the game day. Mary attended the Kansas Library Assoc. meeting
in Wichita and will attend the CKLS Libray Programs A-Z in Great Bend with
Sharon Luck. Mary stated she would like
to be considered for the library director’s position when Nancy retires. Mary also shared the information she sent to
the Lincoln Sentinel regarding everything our small hometown library has to
offer. This information will be
published in a special edition of the paper.
Nancy’s
report. A group would like to use the
meeting room for an exercise program.
Heather, at City Hall said the insurance would accept this as long as it
isn’t an actual library sponsored program. Nancy hopes to finish cleaning out
the storage closets before she leaves.
The Friends of the Library will present Chamber Bucks to Mindy Lewick
since she has taken care of the flower beds at the library. The Bank of Tescott account authorization
paperwork the officers signed has been clarified. CKLS is switching to direct deposit and our
janitors are resigning, effective at the end of the year. Nancy ended by sharing some ideas and jobs
she and Mary have come up with for the volunteers.
Sharon Luck
stated the high school has the metal for the new railings. This project does not have to be completed by
the end of the year. We will use the
CKLS special funds money to pay for this.
The Friends
of the Library contacted Sharon to discuss the plans for the new windows. We decided that Patti would call Topeka to
find out what we actually can do with the windows in order to follow the
historical guidelines for the building.
Once we have that information, we can make additional plans.
Sharon,
seconded by Charlene, made the Bank of Tescott account authorization motion.
Patti,
seconded by Charlene, made janitor resignation motion.
Charlene
made a motion to approve the bills, seconded by Patricia.
Sharon,
seconded by Charlene, established CKLS direct deposit motion.
Patti,
seconded by Sharon, requested the Board of Trustees go into executive session
at 6:28 for 5 min. to discuss non -elected personel.
Charlene,
seconded by Patti, made a motion for Mary Andersen to be promoted to the
Director’s position replacing Nancy Jensen at the end of April. Votes, 7 in favor, 0 nay.
Karen,
seconded by Charlene, adjourned meeting.
Next meeting will be December, 12th.
