The meeting was opened by
Kathy Moss. Jerry moved to approve the
minutes of the November 14th meeting. Terry seconded. Motion carried.
Nancy presented her report:
Sylvan Lawn Care sprayed the lawn for weeds on November 2 and suggested
a spring and fall spraying in the future.
An anonymous patron is going to donate about $300 for a new
projector. Karen and Nancy purchased a
small screen for $25 from Vestal’s auction.
It is smaller than the Extension Office projector, but will work for
presentations. Lynne volunteered her
large screen when needed. No money for
the microfilm reader was received from the Huyett Grant. The reader, purchased through Salina
Blueprint for $8995, has been funded through the WEB fund, FLCL and the
library’s contingency fund. Steve
Thomas, CKLS, recommended a computer monitor and more memory for the
computer. As soon as he installs the new
memory, Salina Blueprint will bring up the rest of the reader. CKLS will hold an executive committee meeting
in Lincoln June
11. The librarians would like to
purchase two cordless phones, one for each level. Vera Jorgensen donated $50 and this would
cover the purchase of the phones. The
library will be closed December 24, 25, 31 and January 1 for holidays. Mary and Nancy worked on a proposed list of
janitor duties.
Unfinished Business:
Nancy
submitted 3 samples for the book bag logo.
The general consensus was to choose #1.
If we were to purchase another item, there would be an additional set up
cost for that item. The secretary was
asked to send a thank you to the WEB fund for their donation for the microfilm
machine. Terry reported that the new
door has been ordered from Kropf Lumber, Hesston,
KS for $4526.67
New Business:
Terry moved to purchase 2 cordless phones with the
donation from Vera Jorgensen. Patrisha
seconded the motion. Motion carried.
Lynne moved to approve the bills. Terry seconded the motion. Motion carried.
Policy Handbook Part IV Employee Policy

parent-child, grandparent-grandchild.
Under Salaries and Wages, change 25 hours to 32 hours a week for the
Director and 17 hours to 19.2 hours a week for the Children’s Librarian. The changes were approved by unanimous
consent.

the 100 year celebration open house to city council and county commission
members. Other suggestions are
welcome.
