<br />Library Board of Trustees <br />Minutes: July 29, 2008 <br />Page 3 of 3 <br /> <br />The 969 children registered for Summer Reading read over 14,000 hours. To <br />acknowledge this achievement, the Louisville Public Library Foundation will donate $500 <br />to Louisville Preschool for "take-home" literacy kits containing books and audiovisual <br />materials. <br /> <br />Adult Services staff members, Kathy Kelly and Karen Ingish, prepared an LSTA (Library <br />Services and Technology Act) grant proposal to obtain funding to enhance a pilot <br />program of three exhibits from the Space Science Institute (SSI), which is to begin this <br />fall. Louisville was asked by SSI to be the prototype site, and these funds will be used <br />for collection development, programs, and kits that will contain a microscope and <br />various materials that can be loaned to other libraries and schools. <br /> <br />B. Update on Library Task Force <br /> <br />Anne reported that the task force met in June with Town of Superior Mayor Andrew <br />Muckle and Town Manager Scott Randall to discuss particulars related to formation of a <br />library district between the two communities. In advance of the meeting, an extensive <br />outline of the library district formation process had been prepared by Anne and <br />distributed to all parties. <br /> <br />Initially, the Superior Town Board expressed some interest in pursuing a library district. <br />However, further discussion indicated little willingness to undertake some of the steps <br />required by Colorado Library Law to form a library district. <br /> <br />The current agreement between Louisville and Superior expires on December 31, 2008. <br />An agreement for 2009 and beyond was to be determined by the end of June, 2008, and <br />although this deadline has passed, both sides have agreed to continue discussions. <br /> <br />10.
