The meeting was called to order by vice president,
Kathy Moss.
FLCL representatives Evelyn
Schroeder and Deb Ortiz presented ideas for the 100th anniversary in
May. They emphasized that FLCL’s goal is
to be an active support of the library. FLCL,
with a membership of 56 persons, meets in the months of January, March, May,
September and November. At the present
their treasury is about $7,000. They purchased three wheeled carts for the
library for patron’s use. Other ideas
for the anniversary are bookmarks and mugs to be given as a thank you for large
donations. Pat Florence is assembling a commemorative booklet for the
event. The genealogy workshop is
scheduled May 31 and they have proposed a book sale in May.
The minutes of the October 10th
meeting were read. Karen moved to
correct the minutes to read: Kathy
attended the WEB meeting instead of Anne Grace.
Jerry seconded the motion. The
minutes were approved as amended.
Reports:
Mary reported that attendance at story
time has gone from 20 to about 10 with the cold weather. This is to be expected. CKLS requires 20 programs each year in
addition to the summer reading programs.
To date, we have had 36 story times.
There will be a Christmas Party on December 12th and no
scheduled story times in January. The
Friday afternoon LEAP program is a success with about 60 students doing crafts
and checking out books. Mary has
reorganized the children’s books, separating the oldies and classics from the
new and popular books. Re-labeling and coding will begin again in January. The turkey decorations in the meeting room
aka story time room are clever and colorful.
The finish on the hardwood
floors is wearing off especially around the floor mats. She will remove the floor mats as they may be
causing a reaction to the finish. CKLS
will meet in Lincoln
Lynne reported that the library logo
designed by Scott Holl is the property of the library and can be used on book
bags, etc.
Terry painted the hand rails outside the
building before the winter weather arrives.
The CKLS Trustee Training at Sylvan Grove
was attended by Karen, Patrisha, Terry and Kathy. The focus was on increasing
activities/programs at the library. The
digital age of books will necessitate the library becoming more of a community
center.
Unfinished Business
The WEB fund has approved $5000 for a
new microfilm reader. FLCL will provide
$1750 and the library’s contingency fund will provide $2250. We are waiting for a letter from G.L. Huyett
regarding funding. CKLS will be
providing a new computer in March and we could possibly use computer #1 with
the new reader. Nancy
Terry reported on the final specifications
for the west door replacement from Chad Lettau of Kropf Lumber Inc, Hesston , KS
Terry will contact Travis Schwertfeger
about loose mortar in the building.
Jerry will contact Pete Falcon in regard to the wearing of the wood
floor finish.
New Business
Jerry moved to approve the bills. Patrisha seconded
the motion. Motion carried. Policy Handbook Part IV will be reviewed at a
later time.
Terry moved to adjourn. Karen seconded the motion. Meeting was adjourned. Since Kathy will be unavailable for the
regularly scheduled meeting Dec 12, it was decided to move the meeting to
Tuesday, December 17 at 5pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Lynne Metz, secretary
