Library Board of Trustees Minutes DATE Page 3of3 N/A Louisville Public Library Foundation Report Full budget request of $67K was approved. Director's Report Sharon reported that the art gallery has been updated and renamed The Coal Creek Gallery at the Louisville Public Library. Benches will be installed so it feels more like a gallery and less like a hallway. The Foundation will support artists and programming during their display months. This month the gallery is supporting Celebrate EDU, an organization that helps artists with disabilities start businesses. It was talks with this group that sparked the Temple Grandin visit. Tickets sold out in two minutes for this intimate and personal event. The Library Plaza project will hopefully be completed when the weather gets warmer. There have been a lot of supply chain issues in receiving all the different materials. Sun shades, planters and seating areas will be added and a concrete stain will be applied. Sharon is optimistic for a grand opening in June or July. Public Comments on Items Not on the Agenda Deb had a question about how the Boulder library district vote affected us. The boundary line goes up to Davidson Mesa. Sharon is speculating there might be a new library in east Boulder. Louisville was not approached as part of this ballot issue. Board Comments Laurel complimented Kristin and the children's library staff for starting to organize the books by subject. This makes it easier to find books with popular subjects such as trucks. Weiyan complimented the library newsletter, as it makes sharing library events easy. Discussion Items for Next Meeting Strategic Planning Process - potentially homework before next meeting Possibility of adding a drop box to the Rec Center Meth testing update (due to issues in Boulder) Adjourn — The meeting was adjourned at 7:24pm.
