Gail also re{X)rted that the volunteer appreciation luncheon during National Volunteer/
Library Week went well. Info was given to the press about NL Week but was not printed.
She attended TLA ill' Dallas in early April. Book sale receipts continue to come in,
about $100.00 more so far. Gerald as VP took her info on a Diner Club fundraiser.
Gail advised that when our bookstore is in operation money should be turned in quarterly.
BUILDING
David will not be available during the next 3 mos. due to school corruni tments . Someone
will need to oversee building needs. Earl Hartzog will check about the security light
needed by the library as well as asking George Barnard if GVEC would consider the
light as a public service. Nick expressed interest in doing the sidewalk to the new
back door for bookstore entry. As to the addition David {X)inted out the following:
1) Must have competent remodeler for door installation, 2) minor work yet to do on
grid, 3) storeroom needs floating out, 4) alarms for addition door(s) to be installed,
and 5) smoke alarms must be installed. #1 & #4 most im{X)rtant. Gerald will see about
these and will install smoke alarms.
The motion passed to allow Gail and Margaret to buy shrubs from board money to replace
.. ~ ...frozen ones. There are leaks in the genealogy room and in Gail f s office. Mike Riley
will be asked about doing the sidewalk work for a fee, not as volunteer labor.
PUBLICITY AND P.R.
Thank-youfs have been written for book sale. Mr. Lehman, SAPL director was here and
was complimentary. Photo of him here did not get in the paper.
FINANCE
We received donations fran the Republican Women. Also from the Lenuns, who gave $650.00
to finsh the 11,000 microfiche(genealogy). Will now start on film the census data.
They also donated genealogy signs. Gail ordered shelves for reference section.
Looking for file cabinet for local history clippings. Motion was made and passed to
put $3,000 of the $4,000 back from the city on the addition into the CD.
OLD BUSINESS
May 5th is Fun Day at Clemens, Mary worked fran 12-5 and sold $12.00 in paperbacks.
Idea for future there - possibly issue library cards. Also much interest as to
when we sell books.
As there was no new business, and the parade float will be discussed at another
meeting, the motion was passed to adjourn.
