The
September meeting was called to order at 5:15 by President Kathy Moss. Sunnie McBride made the motion to approve the
August 8, 2017 minutes with Charlene providing the second.
Mary
Anderson reported she has sent thank you notes and placed a thank you in the
newspaper for all of those who helped with the summer reading program. KAY Club, from LHS, raised money for the
Literacy for a Lifetime Book Drive and gave the library 62 new children’s
books. Krista Biggs from Parents as
Teachers will be doing some of her programs at the library this year. Krista will also coordinate with Nora Rhoades
from the Post Rock Extension District to do a “Brainy Babies” program in
November. The Teens group had activities at the Post Rock Festival, helped with
the Back to School Bash, and elected new officers. Mary is contemplating activities she can do
with the grade school children since the school no longer has the LEAP
program. That 5 year grant has ended.
Nancy has
signed up Charlene and Sharon for the Trustee training on October, 14,
2017. Nancy will also add Kathy Moss to
that list. Nancy presented an idea to
increase the number of DVDs that individuals could check out. Currently, patrons can check out 3 DVDs and
she would like for that number to be changed to 5. Sharon made the motion, seconded by Sunnie to
approve increasing the number of DVDs to be checked out to 5. Approximately 30 people attended the eclipse
party. Charlene had baked cookies for
the event. Nancy would like to start
cleaning out the storage room and furnace room.
Sharon and Sunnie volunteered to assist with touch up painting that
needs to be done.
Sharon has
been working with Mr. Lange from the high school to replace the railings on the
front steps. Mr. Lange believes his
group of students can replace them for $200.00 - $300.00. They will need to remove one railing at a
time in order to have a pattern and measurements. Nancy has found some special galvanizing compound
that will need to be sprayed on the base plates prior to being installed on the
steps. After the railings are in place,
Nancy will coat the base plates and part of the posts with the galvanizing
spray again. Hopefully, this will
preserve the railings from all of the salt that is applied to the steps
throughout the winter. Charlene Batchman
made the motion to approve the railing project, seconded by Karen Jeffers.
Karen
Jeffers made the motion to approve the bills, seconded by Charlene.
Next meeting
will be October 10, 2017 at 5:15
Meeting
adjourned by Charlene, seconded by Patrisha Street.
