Present: Kelly Collins, Roland Ochsenbein, Bob Zak, Chris Sterling
Minutes:
The minutes of the November 4, November 6, November 11, and November 20 meetings were approved.
Director’s Report:
Circulation for November was 4233. Circulation year to date (July – November) is 22,136, as compared to last year’s 22,106.
The floor beneath the basement carpet is soaked. DPW removed the carpet and part of the wallboard as well. Kelly is awaiting work from DPW as to when the area will be tiled, and the wallboard repaired.
Kelly booked a program, “Shaker Ways” from Fruitlands for December 7th.
Personnel:
Mary Murtland has accepted the position of Director at Ashby Public Library.
Phil lost a week of vacation last year. Kelly is urging him to use all of his vacation days.
Kelly will be having weekly meetings with the staff.
Staff Holiday Party:
Kelly will poll the staff for location preferences for a gathering on Monday, Jan. 11.
Basement:
The basement needs to be cleaned out. This is in DPW’s budget. The Trustees toured the basement, and decided that before DPW does the clean-out, items to be saved should be tagged.
Capital Planning:
A motion was made, seconded and passed that a request for a multi-functional copier be put in the FY 2010 budget.
Construction Committee:
Roland reported on the first LCC meeting. All members were given a handout. An issue was raised inquiring whether a Trustee and the Library Director can be voting members of the committee. Kelly will find out what other libraries have done. Kelly will also check with Jody about the accounting process for the project.
The next meetings of the Trustees will be January 8, February 5, and March 5 at 6:30 at the library.
The meeting adjourned at 8:50.
Respectfully submitted, the Trustees,
Robert Zak
