The city council complimented the Library Board on a "good job
as usual" with their budget priorities and plans for the next five
years.

year city plan and budget strategy. Next meeting will be May 14.
Cheryl and Bev will attend if possible.

Library and other departments.
LSCA Grants- -
The Library is submitting two LSCA grants this cycle. One
calls for resource sharing and staff development between the Library
and the Historical Society. The other proposal will develop and
support learning resources available in the community and through the
library by enhancing the Adventures in Learning Program and other
community resources.
NEW BUSINESS
John Glise, representing Aldrich's and the PT Art Commission requested
a letter of support for a grant being submitted to the National
Endowment for the Arts. The grant would fund a feasibility study of a
renovation project for Aldrich's and the development of public space
on the second floor.
John moved that the Board write such a letter. Sue seconded. Motion
passed.
Bev mentioned the need to revise and update library policies, a task
which should be done annually and is at least 2 years overdue. The
Board decided to make this review part of the next several meetings as
it should be done carefully and thoughtfully.
