Joe Lessor
came to our Board Meeting to explain about the process that will come into play
concerning the front door. He is
residing in Lincoln, having retired from his job on the West Coast. He gave the Board a presentation on what he
would do to fix the existing doors or what questions to ask if we get a
different door. He passed out papers to
let us know the details and cost of the hardware that is needed for the door.
Anne called
the Board meeting to order. After a
correction to the last months minutes they were approved. The correction being the Conceal Carry
Policy. In the August meeting the Board
decided to take the gun signs down and delete the Conceal Carry Policy.
Mary gave her
librarians report. The Story Time on
Thursday morning has good attendance.
The LEAP students from the Lincoln Elementary School will be coming to
the Library every Friday at 3:45 to check out books, do crafts and play
games. Everything is going well.
Nancy gave
her librarians report. She will be doing
the payroll early and would like the signers to come in and sign the checks.
The Library
will host a ruffled scarf class for October 19th. There have been some inquiries concerning
having a monthly genealogy club meeting at the Library. Nancy will put a notice in the next newsletter
to see how much interest is received.
Upon
researching the guest book for the Open House after the remodeling project in
2009, there were 71 signatures in the book.
As there probably were some who didn’t sign the book an approximate
number of 100 people were in attendance for this event.
The amount
charged for the public to use the fax from the library will remain the
same. It is in line with what the banks
charge.
The Board
looked at material concerning shopping baskets for the patrons to use while in
the Library. Nancy found several models
that ranged in price from $5 to $25.
Anne will consult the Friends of the Library to see if they would like
to take on this project.
Karen made
the motion to have Sylvan Lawn Care come to do the spraying for the
dandelions. Patrishia seconded the
motion.
Nancy is
writing a grant from the CKLS Materials Grant to purchase a projector and
screen for the Library. At present we
are borrowing Jim Gabelmann’s equipment.
The Board
with the Librarians had discussion about overdue fines. Jerry made the motion to abolish the late
fees (fines). Karen seconded the
motion. The Board also discussed
extending the check out days for books.
Karen made the motion to have the check out period extended from two
weeks to three weeks. Jerry seconded the
motion.
The book bags
as a fund raiser for the 100th anniversary celebration was tabled
till Terry can be at the meeting.
Anne is
working on writing grants for the library from GL Huyett, WEB and the Post Rock
Foundation. Any money we receive will
help purchase the microfilm machine as well as other projects.
The Board
discussed the door issue again. Anne
will check with Terry to see what is going on with the door. If there isn’t any activity a final decision
will be made in October.
Kathy made
the motion to pay the bills for the month.
Jerry seconded the motion. Checks
were signed.
The Board and
Librarians went over the Policy Handbook Part III and corrections and deletions
were made.
Jerry made
the motion to adjourn. Kathy seconded
the motion.
The next
Board meeting will be October 10.

Submitted,
