More commercial construction should begin soon. C. Library Foundation liaison report (R. Gurganus) Renee noted that members of the Library Foundation have volunteered to sell books at various events including the Farmers' Market and the Superior ChiliFest.

Outreach 1) Realtors Jeannie, Helana, Beth, and Bernadine Brumfield (Foundation), met with Elizabeth Ryterski (EEtL RE/MAX) to talk about realtor sponsorship of Read, Baby, Read, as well as other opportunities to help get out information about the Library to new arrivals to Louisville and Superior. Jeannie mentioned coming up with a branding theme to include on a sticker. She will talk to a CU graphic design student she knows about working on a design. 2) Read, Baby, Read Amy Moynihan of the Louisville Library Foundation has prepared a PowerPoint presentation to share with the Avista Hospital Foundation about the program. The hope is that the Avista Foundation will partner with the Library Foundation to help fund and support this program for Louisville and Superior newborns. The Board also discussed various ways to incentivize parents to come to the Library, one of which was to offer another free book if they bring the first RBR book with them. Jeannie brought up the subject of including a sticker with a catchy phrase. The Board liked the idea, and Jeannie will talk to a CU graphic design student about working on this as a volunteer project. Conor mentioned including a home birth collective into the program. He will provide the name of the midwife organization. 3) Superior ChiliFest: September 9, 2017, 2-6pm The Library has reserved a table at this event and members of the Board discussed staffing.

Members volunteered to staff the July 15 and August 5 events. Megan Fantinelli and Mary Van Zale of the Library Foundation will be there to promote the Foundation and run a used book sale.
