Karen moved to accept the minutes of the November 8, 2016 meeting. Trish seconded the motion. All approved the motion.
Mary
reported on the Children’s Department that Story time will be taking a break
until February 9, 2017. Following the evaluation
committee’s recommendations, she and Nancy have been moving furniture around to
make a little more space for the small children. She is planning to use memorial money to
purchase an activity table and some toys to be used while the moms pick out
books. She would like to use some
memorial money to purchase small LEGO sets and games for the older kids and
take her own sets home for her grandchildren. She is still working on the
non-fiction area. The Teen Advisory Board will have a function December 17 at
noon.
Nancy
reported that FLCL has agreed to pay the full cost of the two trash
containers. The city crew will install
them and will make our sidewalk handicapped accessible when they work on the
city’s sidewwalks. She researched the batteries on emergency lights and will
replace 3 of them. Nancy will be gone on
vacation December 16-December 24. Barb
Gourley and Mary will fill in her time.
She distributed copies of the annual report which will be presented to
Heather for the January 9 city council meeting. Following last meeting’s
discussion about changing the nighttime hours during the winter, they decided
the following would work well: Mon, Tues, Wed and Fri 10-1 and 2-5. Both would work on Thursday 10-2 and

the winter hours.

waxing the lower level floors. Lynne moved to accept the bid with Trish adding
