Karen opened the meeting in the absence of Kathy Moss.  Sharon moved to accept the May 10 minutes.  Lynne seconded the motion.  The minutes are accepted.
Mary gave her report on the Children’s Library activities. There are 74+ children signed up for the summer reading program.  27 children came to the Thursday morning special program.  Rolling Hills rescheduled for Tuesday, June 21st, due to a change of schedule.  LEAP came with 19 LES students and were allowed to choose the activity they wanted for the hour.  14 TAB members and 2 guests came to the outdoor movie.  Sunnie was popcorn maker/chaperone once again.  Four seniors are going off the board and four teens have signed up for the coming year.  They will be sponsoring the Family Fun Day at the park on June 30.
Nancy reported the following:  Workers Comp Insurance has increased from $279 to $800.  The company now has a $500 base fee plus the normal fee. He is looking to see if he can find a better plan for next year.  FLCL has purchased a subscription to Book Page, which includes 50 copies/month for patrons.  Seven people came into the library during the Alumni Weekend and were given out bags with Library information.  Advantage Company has the Lincoln newspaper microfilmed up to the end of 2015.  The cost will be $350 and she asked for a copy.  FLCL paid for the last roll of microfilm in September, 2011, and hopefully when they meet in September they will reimburse us the cost.  The Fire Extinguisher Inspection didn’t find any problems.  He did move one of the four into the new part of the building.  The City Auditor examined our books.  The Spring newsletter went out to 611 patrons on May 18.  CKLS is offering to come and do a library evaluation and provide suggestions on how to improve the library.  Nancy handed out the updated version of board members information. I would like to ask FLCL for outdoor trash cans and an electric pencil sharpener.  Terry volunteered to go to the Friends meeting in September and request the above.  The Teen Summer Program is going well with scavenger hunts being popular with the jr high boys.
There was no old business or new business.  Sunnie moved to pay the bills with Sharon adding the second.  The bills will be paid.  The next meeting will be July 12, 2016.
Respectfully submitted,

Lynne Metz, secretary
