Guest: Susan Mueller.
Staff: George Anne Miller, Irene Ertell.
Report: Minutes for May 10, 1989, were approved as written.
Monthly Report May 1989, was distributed by the Library
Director. There was some discussion on the increased
circulation and statistics in general as well as increase in
fines that were collected.
Friends of the Library report was presented by Susan Mueller.
The group will take two months off in the summer and has
scheduled an ice cream social for September 16th.
Cooperative Library Advisory Board (CLAB) report was given
by Library Director on behalf of alternative representative
Vince Matarrese. The main item of discussion was a report
that had been presented to the CLAB at its meeting on June
9th, regarding the admission of new public libraries to the
Washington County Cooperative Library Services.
Role of the Library Board: This item was rescheduled for the September meeting
when it is expected that a full Board will have been
appointed.
Rental Collection: Library Director described a plan for buying extra copies
of best sellers and putting them into a rental collection so
that they can be more readily available to the public and also
justify the purchase of the extra copies. Paul Hoefling moved
to establish a rental collection for the library. The motion
was seconded and passed unanimously.
History of the Library: DeBernardis presented a suggestion for enlarging the
current history brochure by using newspaper clippings and
reproductions of newspaper pictures that trace the history of
the library. This item will be considered as a future
project.
Budget Update 1989-90: Library Director reviewed the decisions that had been
made by the City Administrator affecting the library budget.
Instead of 1.5 FTE, the library will receive .75 FTE. Some
cuts were made in the capital outlay budget but the book
materials budget of $75,000 will remain intact.
Expansion of the Library: Library Director reported that in talking with the
City Administrator it has been decided that any applications
for grants or specific plans for expansion of the library
will be held in abeyance until a ccaplete expansion package
can be put together for the whole City Civic Center to present
to the City Council. It is hoped that this will be
acoorrplished within the year.
Recreation Program Update: Library Director reported that the month of May
pilot program for educational/recreational type programs had
been very successful. The one problem in some instances was
that people did not show up for the programs. However, this
was not a serious problem and it is felt that any programs in
the future for which a fee is charged the attendance will be
more consistent with the registration.
Adjournment: 8:00 p.m.
Respectfully Submitted,
Irene E. Ertell
Library Director
