President,
Kathy Moss opened the meeting. Sharon
moved to approve the minutes of the December 13, 2016 meeting. Karen seconded the motion and all approved
the motion.
Mary
reported that story time is currently on a break. She continues to work on the non-fiction
books.
Nancy
reported the water heater had to be replaced.
To be in-compliance with the Pathfinder Central Agreement, Nancy changed
the patron’s usernames to the number on their library card. She provided everyone a copy of the 2016
budget and the proposed 2017 budget. The
Beach Grant will cover all Children’s books.
Mary is planning to use approximately $3,000.00 of the Beach Grant for
non-fiction books for the children’s department. The city gave the library a
$1,700.00 check that enabled us to end 2016 with an extra $1300.00. Nancy is buying batteries for 3 of the
emergency lights. The trash cans have
been put in place. The sign that is out
front listing the hours the library is open needs to be fixed. Nancy will check with Marci Metz or the PAWS
printing business at the high school to see what they offer or what suggestions
they have for our current sign.
Everyone was
given a copy of the Director’s Evaluation.
It was decided that everyone will complete the evaluation, drop it off
at the library or give it to Kathy Moss prior to the February 14th
meeting. This will give Kathy the
opportunity to compile the data that will be used in executive session at the
Feb. 14th meeting.
Discussion
switched to the library evaluation.
Terry plans to visit with Royce at Precision Electric regarding the
electronic handicapped access for the doors.
Nancy and Mary created a “cubby” area for the children’s
department. Brainstormed ideas to place
signage at the top and bottom of the old stairs, stating they would be used for
emergency purposes only. Nancy will
gradually move books around to fit the library arrangement better.
Karen moved
to approve the bills from the December meeting with Patricia seconding the
motion. Kathy and Nancy signed the Pathfinder Central Agreement.. Sharon made the motion to approve the 2017
budget with Patricia adding a second.
Patricia
motioned for the meeting to adjourn with Karen adding a second.
Respectfully
submitted,
Sharon Luck
