Amy Anderson called the meeting to order in the absence of Pat Ball.
Jeff Kilgore made a motion to accept the minutes as circulated and
Tresa Anderson seconded the motion. The minutes were accepted.
Mary Pat reported that there had been a few complaints about the
drop-off book slot being closed during regular operational hours.
It was closed at this time because of heavy damage to books going
through it but is open after hours.
The Board discussed attributes they would like in a new librarian
after Mary Pat's resignation. We want a visionary person, self-
starter, community player and a diplomats. The person should be able
to set a friendly atmosphere in the library and have the ability to
work with all ages and be able to follow through on plans. Most of
all, the Board felt the new librarian should be enthusiastic.
The reception for Mary Pat will be November 30th.
Mary Pat recommended that the materials check-out period be changed
from two weeks to three weeks with one renewal only.
Allene Booth moved to accept the $2000.00 gift from a citizen for
large print books. Tresa Anderson seconded this motion.
Since the September minutes had not been approved, Allene made the
motion to approve them and Rebecca seconded this motion. They were
approved.
The meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Minutes from the November board meeting will be distributed
at the meeting on Dec. 11.
