�. Minutes to meeting of Pequot Lakes Community Library Board of Directors Tuesday, October 16, 2012 Chairman John Longnecker called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. Members present: John Longnecker, Sam Hennies, Lavone Sullivan, David Anderson and Claire Nagel. Absent: Lydia Loven and Jean Clark. Also present: Jerry Akerson, liaison with City Council Sam Hennies, seconded by David Anderson, approved the minutes of the September 18 meeting. Treasurer David Anderson gave the financial report. Balance in the regular checking account is $7,310.14. Total of the three Endowment CD's is $76,856.97. We also have a Rainy Day CD at Lakes State Bank of $5,000. The Friends of the Library (FOTL) account totals $12,447.20. This includes $800, which will come from Thrivent Financial Lutheran for Basket Auction supplemental funds. Given that $800, the total earned from the Basket Auction was $8,122.15. The FOTL account also includes a total of $350.02 ($97 from donation jar) from the brat sale. It was decided that the income from the brat sale is enough to warrant our doing it next year since SuperValu does most of the work for it. Treasurer's report was accepted by Lavone Sullivan and seconded by Sam Hennies. Regarding Kitchigami Legacy Programs, although many are successful, the two we �--- recently hosted for young children (K-3`d) were unattended by children. We discussed the possibility of not hosting programs, depending upon subject matter, for young children. We do have a very active children's activities group in our library. We will discuss with Jean Clark. Kitchigami is now providing e-books to its patrons. Someone from Kitchigami will be coming the afternoon of October 18 to teach our volunteers how to use the system and also teach patrons how to use it. Our library is going to set up a continuous book sale in part of the meeting room. We'll start the process after cleanup from the auction baskets. We'll ask patrons to suggest names for the new bookstore. We discussed the removal of the front doors from the computer room and the children's room. We also discussed moving the sidewalk curb back from the building somewhat and moving the handicap parking space to in front of the main door. Lavone Sullivan motioned and Sam Hennies seconded the motion to give John Longnecker the authority to get an opinion from Mike Loven about, and then to proceed to get bids on, these proj ects. Claire Nagel will use her column next week to ask for a volunteer fundraiser coordinator. Lavone Sullivan moved to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Claire Nagel, at 7:30 p.m. � Next meeting will be Tuesday, November 20, 6:30 p.m.
