Director Nancy Jensen, Children’s
Librarian Mary Andersen
Kathy called
the meeting to order. Anne moved to
accept the May 12, 2015 minutes as written.
Karen seconded the motion. Motion
carried.
Mary
reported the following attendance: 120
summer Library Program, over 50 attended the Tuesday Therapy dog Program, 39
for Story time led by the teen advisory board members, 30 kids for Kid’s Game
Day and 12 teens for Teen Game Day. The Teen Advisory Board have been
enthusiastic, helpful and reliable. Donations of $465 have been received from
area businesses.
Nancy
reported that CKLS 2016 System Plan will require an annual written evaluation
of the Library Director and a description of new trustee recruitment and
orientation process. Quite a few adults have signed up for the Summer Reading
Program, having a blind date with a book. The new laptop from CKLS is here.
Lynne read a
thank you note from Mindy Lewick for the $20 gift certificate Anne got to show
our appreciation for her help in the landscaping project.
Terry
reported that the replacement stones for the limestone repair project will be
installed this week. The project will be
completed.
Nancy handed
out information on overdue items, new patron probation period and restrictions
that she has compiled. Part of the
information included our present policy of 6 month probation for new card
holders, restricting them to checking out 3 items (only 1 DVD or game). Lynne moved to change the probation period on
new patrons to 4 months. Terry seconded
the motion. The motion carried. Other things to consider are the age of
issuing a library card to 10-13 year olds, (now 12 with parents co-signing),
allow teens to get an adult library card at age 14 (their own responsibility)
and the length of overdue time to suspend a patron’s account and charges for
lost and damaged items. The Board members asked Nancy to consolidate the
information regarding the above so that a vote could be taken at the July
meeting.
Patrisha
moved to pay the bills and Sunnie seconded the motion. The motion carried. Patrisha moved to adjourn the meeting and
Sunnie seconded the motion. The meeting
is adjourned until July 14, 2015 at 5:15pm.
Respectfully
submitted,
Lynne Metz,
secretary
