Pharmacy), 10 video rental coupons from Lincoln Grocery, and 6 movie passes
from the Finch Theatre. There will be no
story time or LEAP activities in August. Story time resumes Sept 4 and LEAP
resumes Sept 12. The 63 LIBRI foundation
books plus 19 bonus Math and Science books have been sent to Great Bend for
processing. These books have a retail
value of $1402.92 and were purchased for $350 given by FLCL. Sharon Markley, Parents
as Teachers coordinator will be doing some of her programs on Thursday mornings
during the story time hour. Mary is
ready to begin “processing” books with new labels for volunteers apply. Karen volunteered to help Lynne and Kathy
with this project.
Nancy
reported that Street Plumbing inspected and cleaned the air conditioner that
needed service. They submitted a
contract for a full cooling/heating system inspection, cleaning and filter
change. Anne moved to contract $60 for
the fall clean and then a year’s contract of $125 for the following year in
January. Karen seconded the motion. The motion carried. The city of Lincoln’s proposed budget would
increase our allotment from $38, 649 to $39,588. The storage rooms are cleaned out of boxes.
The librarians are putting together list
of items that could be disposed of in a garage sale, including garden hoses, TV
and cart, paper book rack, floor protectors, NOOKS, etc. Every year the State Library provides a list
of really good books by Kansans and offers a grant for libraries to purchase 15
Kansas books. Nancy applied for the grant and was accepted. The microfilm software was updated by Darryl
from Salina Blueprint. The city auditor audited the books. The new computer along with a new monitor,
keyboard and mouse from CKLS is installed (Microsoft Office, Norton Antivirus,
Clean Slate and Grand Fortress 101). Nancy ran a circulation report and
reported the following: Movies 209%,
Audio Books 146%, Children’s Books 69%, Adult Books 40%, Cake Pans 26%,
Magazines 6%. She will use this information
when purchasing in the future.
The Video Gaming equipment and games have been
purchased, paid for by the state library’s $450 grant. Discussion followed with different ideas of
how to use these games. The consensus
was to set up an afternoon and evening date for Gaming at the Library. This would include x-box games as well as
board games. Since there is no school, Monday, October 13, the board voted to
invite the public to a session from 2-4pm for kids (with popcorn and drinks)
and an evening session from 6-8pm for families (with hot dogs, chips and
drinks).
The new door
let in some water during the rainstorm through the cracks. Terry has contacted Chad and Kelly and they
plan to come repair this next Wednesday.
Terry reported that Keith Naegele is still interested in repairing the
stone work and thought the amount totaled about $5400. Terry will look into the CKLS facilities
grant, the WEB fund, etc to raise the money.
Lynne moved to go ahead with the stone work repair if money can be
raised. Anne seconded the motion. Motion
carried.
The movie,
12 Years a Slave, will be shown Wednesday, August 20 at 2:30. Due to copyright
laws, we cannot advertise the name of the movie outside of the library
itself.
An
additional $73.47 to Quill for supplies and $69.05 to Street for cleaning the
air conditioner are added to the bills to be approved. Lynne moved to approve
the bills. Karen seconded the
motion. The motion carried.
The next
meeting will be September 11. Karen
moved to adjourn. Patrisha seconded the motion.
The meeting is adjourned.
Respectfully
submitted,
