Library Board of Trustees <br />Meeting Minutes—DRAFT <br />November 10, 2016 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />VIII. Ongoing Business <br />A. Louisville City Council Update (A. Stolzmann) <br />No update due to absence of A. Stolzmann. <br />B. Superior Board of Trustees Update (R. Dozal) <br />R. Dozal noted that there was nothing to report beyond the recent election of three new <br />Superior Town Trustees. <br />C. Library Foundation Liaison Report (S. Lancton) <br />Sherri noted that there had been no meeting of the Library Foundation since the Library <br />Board's last meeting in September. The next Foundation meeting is scheduled for <br />December 6th and Sherri will be unable to attend. R. Gurganus will attend in her place. <br />D. Farmers' Market Outreach Debriefing <br />Board members Lancton, Lechner, and Schuman noted that the Board participated at the <br />Farmers' Market three times over the summer, focusing on crafts tied to the Library <br />Makerspace. All agreed that projects need to be simple or packaged so people can work on <br />them at home. This worked very well for the final project, which was put together by <br />librarians Sarah Johnson and Erin Owen. In addition, Board members believe that handing <br />out rack cards with Library information was helpful and sparked conversations with several <br />attendees about the Makerspace and what's available there. <br />A few Makerspace-labeled craft packets were left over and were placed in a Little Library. <br />The packets went quickly. <br />H. Lechner spoke with a Girl Scout leader who is interested in bringing a group to the <br />Makerspace to work on a badge project. <br />Board members recommended that for 2017, the Board's schedule should begin sooner and <br />conclude before kids go back to school. <br />E. Little Libraries <br />In October, J. Schuman and S. Lancton repainted the two Little Libraries in Louisville. <br />Sherri noted that they may need to be replaced next year due to normal wear -and -tear; <br />her husband has volunteered to build one. <br />D. McCool currently volunteers to stock the Little Library in Superior and has volunteered <br />to repaint it. She also suggested that including more Library cross -promotional materials <br />could be beneficial. <br />F. STEM Grant Update (R. Gurganus) <br />No updates. <br />G. Avista/Foundation Partnership for Newborns (`Born to Read'): Grant Opportunities <br />R. Gurganus noted that the grant awards from TEI Landmark Audio will be announced <br />December 15th <br />
