OLD BUSINESS:

Friends Committee: The Friends Committee held an extremely successful program with the author of Men of Salt. There was a large crowd, and the Library sold several books to those in attendance. The Friends will be discussing a cleaning day at the next meeting where we will assist in clearing out some of the clutter in the library.

Quality Standards: Nearly complete.

District Issue: May 3^rd has been set as the first meeting of the Steering Committee which will evaluate the possibility of our becoming a District Library.

Computer Upgrades: The computer upgrades have all been completed.

Building Maintenance: Several tiles on the roof will have to be replaced in the near future. We also need to address a problem in the parking lot where the railing from the library entrance down to the parking lot ends before it should. An extension will be looked into.

Director’s Evaluation: Because of a lack of trustees present, the evaluation of Director Perrigo will be put off until the June Board of Trustees Meeting.

Budget: The audit done recently was presented to the Board and at this time we are meeting our budget.

Loaning Digital Equipment: It has been discovered that the City cannot take credit cards, so the plan has been changed to taking credit card numbers of those individuals who borrow this equipment and keep them on file.

New Trustee: The City will be appointing a selection committee for the appointment of a new Library Board Trustee, and will advertise for a replacement for Trustee Huff, who will be completing her tenure in June.

New Business:

Quilt: A lovely quilt was given to the Library to raffle, and we are going to look into the legal requirements of doing so, or find some other way to raise funds from this gift.

Public Comment: There was no public comment brought forward.

Librarians Report: Director Perrigo reported the workshop on digitizing she attended in April was interesting and way too much in depth for our needs. She also attended a ACLA meeting and found it interesting to hear what other libraries are doing on different matters. The summer reading program is being planned at this time. There will be a legislative day in Lansing this month, and Director Perrigo will attend.

Upon a motion by Trustee Hough, seconded by Trustee Gavan, the meeting was adjourned at 7:53 p.m. The next meeting will be May 15, at 7:00 p.m.

Respectfully Submitted
