The meeting was called to order at 7:50 p.m.

Laurie Stewart
Bev Lamb, Carol Baird from the library staff.
Vouchers were signed
HOSPITAL CONTRACT:
Carol Baird reported that the hospital wants to contract with us
for some library services which could include reference, inter- library
loan, cataloging. This is a logical extension of services we
already offer individual hospital staff members & could provide
some interesting grant opportunities.
Sue moved & Vicki seconded that the Board approve the concept of
a contract to be negotiated between the hospital and the library.
Passed
DIALOG SEARCHES:
Vicki moved and Pete seconded that the library absorb the first
$10.00 (per search) of search and phone costs, the balance of the
costs to be paid by the user. This formula will be applied for a
trial period until the end of the year.
Passed.
PROTECTOR:
The Friends of the Library have donated a 16mm film projector.
A letter from the Board will be sent to the Friends thanking them
and to the City Council informing them of the gift and listing
it on the library's property inventory.
SHELVING:
There is an immediate need for shelving in the children's dept.
Once bookcase is in danger of coming unglued and the rest of the
shelves are inadequate now & will be moreso once the new books
come int. Bev will have costs for the next meeting so emergency
funds can be sought for new shelving.
RAMP:
Rotting boards on the ramp will be replaced from the building
maintenance budget.
STATISTICS:
Planning statistics which will be gathered in the next few months
will include a head count of everyone entering the library; these
figures will also be useful for determining closing hours and times
of heaviest use.
