MARY’S REPORT:
Children’s Department
I will not be at the board meeting. I am going to Nebraska
to visit Nicki and the grandkids for my birthday.
Everything is going well. I have purchased the LEAP crafts
to get us through until the end of the year. I will be sending a bill to the
board office for reimbursement of LEAP expenses.
I have made a schedule and plan for story times through the
end of April. We are doing an Under the Sea theme with story times about
Oceans, Mermaids, Sharks, and Pirates. We will also be celebrating Valentine’s
Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, the First Day of Spring and Earth Day. We will end
with a big “Beach Party.”
Sharon Markley will continue to come the 3rd week of the
month with her Parent’s As Teachers Playgroup and I have asked Kaye and Jeff
Metzler to do another story time with music. The kids have really enjoyed their
past performances.
I have not decided if I will take a short break in May to
get ready for the Summer Reading Program or continue story times in May.
I am wondering if any of you have small cake decorators
that I could use to decorate cookies with the story time and LEAP Kids for
Valentine’s Day. I am looking for the small metal ones or something similar. If
you do, and are willing to share, please write your name on it and bring it to
the board meeting or any time before 2-12-14.
NANCY’S REPORT:
FLCL: Mary and I are going to put together a wish list of
items that we would like for the FLCL to purchase for us. We will present the
list to the Board at the March meeting and then give it to the FLCL.
Yearly Reports: I completed all the yearly reports for CKLS
and the State Library. I also got all the employer reports done.
Staff Computer #2: I have been having problems with staff
computer #2. The payroll module on Quickbooks hasn’t been working right and the
tech support at Intuit thought our problem might be that this computer was
running vista instead of windows 7. I installed windows 7 on the computer (a
clean install, I couldn’t do an upgrade, which means that everything on the
computer was erased and I had to put everything back on again.) The computer
seems to be working ok, so I am hoping the problem is fixed.
Copier: The copier has been giving us problems for the last
3 to 4 months. The repairman would come, replace a part and leave thinking it
was fixed. It wouldn’t be. He would come back, replace another part and same
story. Last week he was back out and I think that this time the copier is
really fixed.
Online Banking: Kathy contacted the banks and I am now able
to get bank statements from the Citizens Bank over the internet. I have a form
that the Bank of Tescott needs signatures on. Once it is signed and returned I
will be able to get their statements over the internet.
Game Day: Mary and I want to do another Game Day over
Spring Break (March 13-22). Not sure what day yet. What works for everyone?
Hanging Pictures: I don’t remember if someone volunteered
to hang the pictures. We decided where to put them but I wasn’t sure if someone
was going to do the actual hanging. Someone as in not me, I am a terrible
picture hanger.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS None to report.
NEW BUSINESS
Anne moved to approve the bills for January. Jerry seconded the motion. The motion carried.
Decision was made to hold the Game Day on March 18th
Anne and Jerry will hang the pictures on the wall.
Jerry moved to adjourn the meeting. Anne seconded the motion. The meeting is adjourned and the next meeting
will be Tuesday, March 10, 2015.
Respectfully submitted,
Patrisha Street- Filling in for Lynne
