Librarians: Nancy Jensen, Mary Andersen
Kathy called
the meeting to order. Anne moved to
approve the September and October minutes.
Jerry seconded the motion. The
motion carried.
Mary
reported that story time is averaging 25 children. Sharon Markley, Parents as Teachers
coordinator has been hosting her play groups at the library once a month during
story time. LEAP is averaging 55
students: students play games, do crafts
and read and check out books during this time. The theme for next year’s summer
reading program is “Every Hero Has a Story”. She will be applying for another
programming grant for a kick-off entertainer.
Nancy
reported that newsletter was sent out October 10 to 463 patrons. She is considering reducing the frequency of
the newsletters. Pete Falcon came to
redo the dull places on the wood floor.
Afterwards, there was such a difference in the finish that Pete redid
the floor at a cost of $100. Game Day
was a success with mostly grade school students thanks to Terry and Kathy
helping out. The Kansas Collection has
been moved upstairs and the Lincoln County Collection has been reorganized. Nancy presented information to review salaries
and a possible 2015 budget.
Terry
reported that the west door has been completely redone with a solid wood panel
replacing the pieced panel. Outside
painting and inside finishing have been completed and the Stryker plate at no
additional cost has been reset. This was accomplished thanks to the persistence
of Terry.
Terry
reported that the limestone repair project still needs $2795 to complete the
fund raising. She plans to ask FLCL and
the City of Lincoln for the remaining funds. Since these are maintenance
issues, she will ascertain that our mill levy yearly operational allocation
will not be affected.
Lynne moved
to go into executive session from 1720 until 1735 to discuss personnel matters
of non-elected personnel in order to protect the privacy interest of the
individuals to be discussed. Anne
seconded the motion and motion carried.
Lynne moved to extend executive session to 1745, seconded by Anne. Motion carried.

hours and pay scale will be implemented January 1, 2015.
