There was no old business.
New business resulted in the election of officers for this fiscal year. Nancy moved that the current officers carry over for another year. Brenda seconded the motion. Dale Hanaman, president, and Jean Borgeson, secretary, will serve another year.
Programs planned for September were discussed. Shawneene discussed the Car Show on September 23 and she will contact the volunteers and final details will be finalized. So far, there has been wonderful help from others in the community to help organize the show and provide food for the meal.
Shawneene stated she needs to be gone on Friday, September 15 and needed someone to open the library. Jean volunteered, depending on whether she is called for jury duty or not, then Dale will.
She is working on the county and state reports, due October 30. Scott Dermitt, State Library Consultant, of the State if Iowa Library Services, has been helpful when Shawneene has questions about these reports.
