� Minutes to meeting of Pequot Lakes Community Library Board of Directors Tuesday, June 19, 2012 Chairman, John Longnecker, called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. Board members present: John Longnecker, Lydia Loven, Sam Hennies, Lavone Sullivan, David Anderson, and Claire Nagel. Absent: Jean Clark. Also present was Jerry Akerson, liaison to City Council, and Harry Olson. Lydia Loven, seconded by Sam Hennies, approved the minutes of the May 15 meeting. Treasurer David Anderson gave the financial report. As of June 15, 2012, there was $9,090.76 in the regular checking account, and $66,522.25 in certificates for a total of $75,613.01. Because our anonymous library angel donated $10,000 recently, Treasurer Anderson suggested we set up a Rainy Day CD for $10,000 and another endowment CD in the amount of $5,000. Claire Nagel made a motion to that effect, which was seconded by Sam Hennies. The Treasurer's report was approved by Lydia Loven, seconded by Claire Nagel. Chairman Longnecker suggested that we need a better back-up system. He suggested one � from Nordic Backup. Sam Hennies moved that we sign up for 5 GB secure online storage from Nordic Backup at $10.25 per month. It was made known that board member and volunteer Lavone Sullivan arranged for tree trimmer Allen Witt to trim the trees on the south end of the building so that the public can easily see the Pequot Lakes Library sign which was attached to the southeast corner of the building after the tree trimming was done. Lavone and her husband Tom paid for the tree trimming. Discussion was had about the Jack Pine Center book sale, held on weekends in the spring. $690 was raised during those Friday and Saturdays. Our main book sale will be held on Friday and Saturday, July 6 and July 7 in the meeting room of the library from 8- 4 on Friday and from 8 until ?? on Saturday. Volunteers will be needed. On the subject of ways to advertise the library better, Claire Nagel reported on her visit to Pequot SuperValu. She signed up for a weekend brat sale to be held Friday and Saturday, August 3-4 from 11-4 each day. We will need volunteers. SuperValu provides everything. We only need a certain number of people to do the grilling, etc. At the end of the weekend sale, SuperValu and the library split the profits 50/50. This is our first try at this, so we'll see how it goes. The store will not add a half-page to each bag of groceries that goes out the door. They no longer do this. � The next meeting will be July 17, 2012. This meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m. after a motion by Lydia Loven and a second by Sam Hennies.
