Librarian's Report:
-The Internet System has not started as planned. Gail is hoping things will be
completed and running by June 15.
-Mr. Sweatt attended a workshop and came back with a policy on Internet use.
The policy is very complete and Gail feels it would be appropriate for the library's
use. She will make copies for members of the Policy Committee to review. The
Policy Committee can make suggestions or changes and the present policy to
the LAB for approval.
-The Bookstore Committee was asked to make suggestions about perhaps
changing the hours the bookstore is open, or maybe closing it. Sue Vander
Heyden, who has been the main volunteer, is losing interest and is not physically
able to spend as much time working in the bookstore. Keeping volunteers has
also been a problem. Gail asked the Bookstore Committee, as well as the rest of
the LAB, if the bookstore should be phased out since that space could be used
for the children's area. Suggestions were made to reduce the number of days
the store is open to just Tuesdays and Fridays, and to wait until after the actual
move of the children's area is made before considering phasing out the
bookstore.
-Plans for the Fourth of July Parade were discussed. The LAB will meet on July
3 to help decorate the float. The theme is "Saluting Our Armed Forces." The hat
from last year will be transformed into a cake with the slogan "We Salute Our
Armed Forces on America's Birthday."
The motion to adjourn was made by Barbara Quates, with a second by Julie.
The motion carried.
The next LAB meeting will be on July 6, 1998, at 7:00 p.m.
