Library Board of Trustees Minutes DATE Page 2 of 2 Louisville Public Library Foundation Report - Jaime summarized the foundation's purpose for new members. She reported that they have recruited new members and are focusing efforts on fundraising. At the last meeting, the foundation discussed to only donate funds to the library what they have raised each year rather than pulling funds from their endowment. This may result in substantially less funds this year. Superior Board of Trustee Report - The new Library Board of Trustees from Superior do not serve on the Superior Town Board, but are very interested in the library. Sharon requested that the new members act as communication liaisons between the Library Board and the Superior Trustees. Director's Report - Sharon hired a new circulation supervisor. She is very excited that he will be joining the team. The library collected 10,000 pounds of books at the annual book donation and recycling event. The director's report also had upcoming volunteer opportunities. Lastly, Sharon's report contained information about continuing to make First Friday Art Walks more fun and engaging. Strategic Planning - Cat continued to facilitate strategic planning discussions. Attendees discussed what meaningful engagement with the library looks like for children and families, teens, and adults. From these lists, participants brainstormed creative terms through another exercise. Many of the same words such as connection, community, collection, safe space continue to surface in discussions. We will continue to work on this at the next meeting.
