Monday, May 22, 2017 (to be approved at the next meeting)
The regular meeting of the Rippey Library Board of Trustees met at the library on Monday, May 22, 2017. The meeting date was changed because of Memorial Day.
Jean Borgeson, acting for Dale Hanaman, who was still in Wisconsin, suggested she and Nancy Burrow look over the bills and gave their approval to be paid. Dale will get home tomorrow and do the same. Brenda was sick and Carmen just forgot about the change. Dale was able to sign the bills, also. With the Memorial Day Holiday looming and vacations starting, it didn’t seem likely there would be another day to schedule a meeting before the city council meeting.
Everything else on the agenda could wait until the August meeting. Summer Reading will begin in July and, along with the county fair, that would be enough for Shawneene to do. She is very discouraged at the turn-out when there is a program offered. We assured her that it is not her fault, and all a library can do is offer their services to the public, and encouraged her to keep up with her ideas to provide for the community.
With May and June being the busiest time for people, the focus will be Summer Reading..
The next meeting will be Monday, June 26, 2017 at 6:00.
Jean Borgeson, Secretary
