Terry explained about the spray that was used on the Box
elder bugs. It has helped greatly in
reducing the number of bugs.
Rose Gourley from City Hall was here to explain where the
Library gets its money. She passed out
copies of the city budget. She informed
us how the taxes were raised concerning evaluation on the property. There is also a little money from the vehicle

Our Library is doing just fine.
Nancy and Mary are trading days for the month of March.

any funding from CKLS or the State.

Reports of Board
Members:
Terry has been to see the new chairs at M&J. They will need to be scotch guarded before
they are ready for the Public to enjoy.
The Friends of the Library will pay for the shades and installation
from Ellenz of Tipton.
Kathy made the motion to pay the B&K Elevator bill. Terry seconded the motion.
Terry made the motion to accept the Proctoring Policies and
Procedures. Kathy seconded the motion.
Anne shared with the Board about the books she has taken to
the Lincoln Park Manor for the residents to enjoy. She will continue to take more books out when
she brings the ones that are there back to the Library.
Anne also brought 4 bags she purchased for the patrons of
the Library to use to hold their books will they browse for more books.
Anne thought maybe some of the 6th grade students
would like to help with the summer library programs or when volunteers are
needed.
Terry and Anne will attend the next city council meeting in
April. They will see if the drop box and
the bike rake can be moved. A book drop
you could access without getting out of your car would be very beneficial for
those patrons who are mobility challenged.
The Mission statement will be on the agenda for the April
Library Board Meeting.
The Library will be having it’s 100th year
celebration in April 2014. We are
anticipating that the Friends of the Library and the Library Board can come
together to have something spectacular for the community. We will discuss this later.
Dennis Cross is to repair the front door but he hasn’t
started on it yet. Terry will see what
can be done. It has to be repaired a
certain way to be on the Historical Register.
Kathy made the motion to adjourn. Terry seconded the motion. Meeting was adjourned. The next meeting will be on Aril 9, 2013 at 5
pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Kathy Moss, just filling in for Lynne
