LINCOLN CARNEGIE LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES

APRIL 10, 2014

Members Present:  Anne Grace, Kathy Moss, Jerry Philbrick, Patrisha Street, Terry Broberg, Lynne Metz

Librarians Present:  Nancy Jensen, Mary Andersen

President Anne called the meeting to order.  Kathy moved to approve the March minutes.  Jerry seconded the motion and the motion carried.  Anne remarked that officers will be elected at the May meeting.

Children’s library report given by Mary included the following:

     Mary visited local businesses in regard to getting photos of each business’s employees reading in preparation for the digital signage and paper signage advertising the anniversary.  After the anniversary, the signs can easily be changed to promote the Summer Library Program. Chelsea Wineinger will help with the summer program’s science programs.  Anyone who has old classic books and/or toys for display is asked to bring them to the library.  Mary is also looking for any “science/lab equipment” and “crazy scientist” type wig. The ventriloquist, Kevin Horner, will be performing at LES on the last day of school to kick off the Summer Library Program. 

     Nancy reported that the digital sign is up and running.  FLCL was here to help clean up the flower beds.  Pete Falcon completed the refinishing of the wood floor and waxing of the tile floors.  There are a couple of areas that need extra attention and Nancy will contact Pete in regard to this. CKLS is looking for a representative from our library to serve on the executive committee.

     Patrisha reported for the FLCL committee that the advertisements are being distributed, an ad is at the Finch Theatre, and the invitations will be mailed April 14.  FLCL has set May 17 for the used book sale. All board members are asked to attend the 10^th anniversary open house, May 4.

Old business:  The new doors look wonderful, and the kick plates will be installed soon.  The librarians have noticed a small space at the top of the door which is letting in light.  Terry will talk to the installers.  

New business:  Anne signed the voting Proxy that allows Nancy to represent our board and vote at CKLS’s spring meeting.  A light fixture was damaged during the floor refinishing.  Nancy will check into a replacement.  Terry is still contacting a company regarding the cleaning of the carpets.  Pete submitted a bill of $995 for the floor resurfacing.  The consensus was to pay the bill with a note asking him to redo a small area.  Jerry moved to pay the bills.  Kathy seconded the motion.  Motion carried to pay the current bills.

  Jerry moved to adjourn the meeting.  Kathy seconded the motion.  The next meeting will be Thursday, May 8.

Respectfully submitted,

Lynne Metz, secretary
