November 2015, Board Meeting Minutes

LINCOLN CARNEGIE LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES
NOVEMBER 10, 2015
MEMBERS PRESENT:  Kathy Moss, Anne Grace, Karen Jeffers, Patrisha Street, Sunnie McBride, Lynne Metz
STAFF PRESENT:  Nancy Jensen

Kathy opened the meeting.  Anne moved to approve the minutes of October 13, 2015, and Karen seconded the motion.  The minutes were approved. 
Nancy gave the children’s report for Mary.  Story time is averaging 15 children per week and last week there were 27.  Mary has been making pictured dividers for the non-fiction section so that the children can more easily identify the subject matter.  A game day is scheduled during Christmas break on Wednesday, December 30th.  The TAB meeting is next week and Mary has advised them of the movie night restrictions by the board.
Nancy’s report included correcting the AT&T bill which will result in a refund.  The city workers closed off two outside electrical outlets and put a lock on the third one, put locks on the air conditioner switches and outside water hydrants, and changed out the smoke detector batteries.  Since it is dark earlier, we aren’t having kids hanging around after hours. Three board members are registered for the trustee meeting in Beloit on November 17.  The DVD Swap sent our first round on November 2 and half of them were checked out by the end of the day. The Mobile Pyramid display is here and included a really nice free metal book cart.  Nancy and Mary attended a Marketing workshop and got ideas for marketing projects.  Mary is going to talk with the TAB about helping with the 3D printer when it is here.  A training session will be scheduled so some of them and we can learn how to run the machine. 
The Library will be closed November 11, Veterans Day and November 26, Thanksgiving.
Lynne moved to approve the bills, with Patrisha seconding the motion.  The motion carried.
Anne moved to adjourn the meeting, with Sunnie seconding the motion.  The next meeting will be Tuesday, December 8 at 5:15pm.

Respectfully submitted,

Lynne Metz, Secretary
