Board of Trustees Regular Meeting
June 10, 2019
Meeting called to order at 10:04 am. Present were Carlton McCaslin, John Pawlak, Joy Marshall, Marie Long, Janice Painter, and Susan Wonderly. Guests present were Amy Bruno, Mandy Cafeo and Alysha Wogee.
Public comment: Susan welcomed John Pawlak to the Board and introduced him to each member. He shared a little of his background.
Consent Agenda:
Adoption of Agenda/Consent of agenda: Janice made a motion to accept the agenda; Joy seconded and the motion carried.
Acceptance of minutes of 5/21/19 meeting: Joy made a motion to accept the minutes of the previous meeting as written; John seconded and the motion carried.
Treasurer’s Report: (attached) Susan presented the report. Brief discussion followed. Susan noted that the Library’s revenues are up-to-date with the Treasurer’s Office. Janice made a motion to accept the Treasurer’s Report; Joy seconded and the motion carried.
Reports/Discussions:
Shed Quote: (attached) Susan explained that she would like to have a shed build on the patio for more secure and climate-friendly storage. After brief discussion, Joy made a motion to accept the quote as presented; John seconded and the motion carried. Joy asked about the installation of the new toilet in the ladies’ room; Susan said that the plumber will have it installed soon. Due to his health issues, he has to hire someone to do it for him.
Computers: Susan wanted to update the Board on the current status of the Library computers. She deferred to Amy, who explained that though the new thin clients have been installed and are correct, there have been more issues than expected with the Server operating systems and Cybrarian, and it has taken much longer than expected—and more budget than expected. It has been decided by Susan, Amy and the IT people (Network Savants) that they will do a clean install on the Children’s Server and Cybrarian will get a last chance to work correctly. If it does not work, then we will have to rethink our options. No action required but the Board would like an update at the next meeting.
Calendar update: The next regular meeting will be held Monday July 8, 2019, @ 10:00am.
Librarian’s Report: (attached).
Stats attached.

Public Comment: Alysha shared stories about BabyTime and Summer Reading Program, both of which started this week. 28 babies in BabyTime and 47 kids at the Kick-Off Dance Party! The Program is off to a great start and all present applauded the great attendance at children’s programs @ the Library. Susan and Joy announced that Joy is hosting a Potluck Pool Party for Staff and Volunteers on July 21 at 4pm. She will provide meats; guests should bring drinks, sides, and significant others. More details will follow as the date gets closer.
