CONSIDERATION OF AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE FOLLOWING*
• Introduction of a library staff member - Eric Lashley: Suzette Davidson,
Reference Librarian, was introduced to the Board. Suzette told the Board she had
grown up in a military family and had retired from the military. Suzette moved to
S un City after serving at Ft. Hood. After retiring from the Army, she went to Library
School at the University of Texas at Austin. After graduating from UT, she was
hired as the Reference Librarian. She is the author of the Library's Baffle the
Bookworm column in the Williamson County Sun and assists patrons with reference
and genealogy questions. Due to the large numbers of questions we receive
concerning local cemeteries, Suzette recently attended a cemetery preservation
workshop in Kerrville.
® Introduction of a board member - Betty Sensabaugh: Betty asked Shana
N ichols to introduce herself to the Board. Shana moved to Georgetown in 1998.
S hana grew up in a military family. She considers DeKalb, TX her hometown. After
graduating high school, Shana attended and graduated from the University of Texas
at Austin with a degree in Economics. After graduating from UT, she worked for the
City of Austin and now works for CSC Consultants in Austin. She is married with no
children, but has four godchildren.
• Summer meeting schedule — Betty Sensabaugh: Betty announced that Eric
would be absent from the June meeting. She asked if the Board should meet in
June. Shana Nichols made the motion to cancel the June 2009 meeting and
David Ciambrone seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
• Parking — Eric Lashley: Eric announced that the Friends of the Library were going
to petition the Georgetown City Council and the County Commissioner's Court to
increase parking for the library, specifically at the corner of 8th and Martin Luther
King Jr. The Friends of the Library are requesting meetings with Councilmembers
and would be happy if members of the Advisory Board attended these meetings.
Eric said he would notify members concerning any future meetings between the
Friends and members of Council.
• Georgetown Learns — David Ciambrone: David announced that he has met with
Larry Franks and other members of the Georgetown Library Foundation to discuss
having the Foundation sponsor the Georgetown Learns program. The Library
Foundation meets on May 19, 2009 and will vote on whether to accept the proposal.
All indications are that they will vote in favor of sponsoring the project.
• CTLS news — Linda Nix: Linda read a section of the CTLS May Newsletter that
concerned a presentation given by Pat Tuohy, Executive Director of CTLS, in
regards to future of libraries. She was very encouraged to find that the Georgetown
Public Library had followed a number of things that were outlined in the article and
she felt we were ahead of many trends.
• Meeting Room Use — Eric Lashley: Eric explained that the library's meeting room
policies required catering for events to be approved by the Red poppy Coffee
Company. Eric explained that he had a few complaints recently concerning the Red
Poppy Coffee Company's catering services and that he had met with Lisa Hoekstra,
owner, and had reiterated that the catering rights can be terminated if the library felt
the complaints were negatively affecting patrons' attitudes toward the library.
• Swine flu and library closure — Eric Lashley: Eric explained that the City will
follow the Center for Disease Control's recommendations and the Georgetown
Independent School District in regards to closing public facilities. If the schools are
closed due to a public health concern, the City will close the Library as well as the
Recreation Center to prevent the spread of disease.
Chairperson Betty Sensabaugh adjourned the meeting at 7:45 PM.
Respectfully submitted,

February Patron Comments
Comment: Please do not open another line of people — without asking to help the next person in
line. This happened to me while others behind me were helped.
Comment: From a patron's view, the "new" shelves don't seem very accessible. And from a
shelver's point of view, it really stinks. Books are too far apart and too difficult to find.
Comment: Your volunteers help much.
Comment: Remove plants that overflow the benches outside the library— always overgrown and
can't sit on benches.
Comment: As a frequent patron of Georgetown Library — I have a suggestion. Could it be
possible to pay for e.g. $20 annual membership that allows a member better rate for library facilities
like printing costs, faxes, etc.
Comment: Please put a date stamp at self checkout.
Comment: Ask your Friends of the Libraryto be more quiet when the situ stairs.

DIRECTOR'S MONTHLY REPORT
GEORGETOWN PUBLIC LIBRARY
April 2009
HIGHLIGHTS
On April 16 staff put on a recognition luncheon for the library volunteers. The Red Poppy
Coffee Company catered the luncheon and author Julie Kenner spoke to the group.
Special recognition awards were given to Mary Beth Huba, for twenty-five years of
summertime storytelling; to Judy Johnston for her long and varied service to the library as
a volunteer, volunteer coordinator, library board member, and CTLS lay rep; and to Leo
Hamilton who for many years has done original cataloging for the library. He is the only
volunteer who provides professional services. Leo was ill the day of the luncheon and did
not receive his award until April 30.
The Sun City Dulcimer Club, accompanied by a number of other instruments, performed
in the Music! Live @ the Library series on Sunday, April 19. Staff received many positive
comments about the performance.
An additional step browser has been added to hold the overflowing music CD collection.
The Friends of the Library paid for $1600 of the $2000 cost of the browser. To make more
room for items that circulate all the time, the holiday music collection was removed and will
be displayed in a separate rotating wire display unit.
The nonfiction collection has been shifted to make more room on the shelves and to
eliminate using the bottom shelves.
STAFF
• Eric Lashley, who is now an officer in the Texas Library Association, traveled to
Houston to attend a business meeting on Friday, April 3, the last day of TLA's

• On April 14 Eric and Rosa Garcia attended the meeting of the Sun City Kiwanis
Club and received a check for $500 for children's programming.
