UNFINISHED BUSINESS

Webpage   After receiving input from several local libraries regarding time spent updating their webpages, the Board determined that Deb Wyffels should spend no more than10 hours a month on the webpage and Ellen Moore should spend five hours a month.

Final Budget    With having the Tentative Budget and Appropriation Ordinance available to the public for 30 days, Paul made a motion to approve it as the Final Budget and Appropriation Ordinance. Janet seconded his motion and it passed by roll call vote unanimously. The document was signed and will be filed with the County Clerk.

NEW BUSINESS

Inter-library Loan  Because there have been many books ordered through inter-library loan and patrons do The Board agreed to charge patrons $1 per book that they request through inter-library loan and do not pick up.  This occurs quite often, with patrons requesting several books and never coming in for them.

Grants   Through the library system, we are participating in a plan in which we received approximately 20 computers being replaced by newer ones from Kirkland Community College.  Those computers, which are newer and faster than our older ones, will replace our older computers.  Our old computers will then be on sale at the library for $20 each.  

Adjournment   With no further matters before the board, the meeting ended at 7:29 p.m.
