Library Board of Trustees Meeting Minutes—DRAFT May 11, 2017 Page 4 of 4 4) Farmers' Market The Board will continue its participation at some Farmers' Markets this summer and will again highlight Makerspace programs and hand out Make -and -Take kits prepared by Library staff. The schedule is not set, but there will be a presence at the June 3 market to take advantage of increased foot traffic from the Taste of Louisville event. The Board will also contact the Library Foundation to see if they will handle a used book sale. 6) Staff luncheon The luncheon will be held on May 24. The menu will include salads, breads, drinks, and desserts. Jeannie prepared a sign-up sheet for Board members. Jeannie will also coordinate food and set-up at the Library. 7) Read, Baby, Read (RBR) program for newborns at Avista Beth noted that she had been in contact with Kelsey Clark of `Reach Out and Read', a 501(c)(3) serving children six months to five years. Kelsey expressed interest in partnering with the Library Foundation to reach the newborn to five months age group. Although Kelsey's organization has already received a grant for a pilot program targeting this group, and they may not be able to include the RBR program this time, it's possible RBR may fit in to a future funding cycle. Kelsey has suggested that she, someone from Avista, and a member each from the Foundation and Library Board meet to discuss a possible plan. She suggested the second week of July. Beth will maintain contact with Kelsey and provide information to both the Foundation and Library Board. IX.
