Library Board of Trustees <br />Minutes <br />14 March 2024 <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />$49,000 fundraised last year. <br />The foundation is not planning to fundraise for summer reading this year. <br />The foundation is looking at ways to incentivize regular/annual giving. <br />Directors Report: <br />2024 is the Library's 100t" birthday. There is limited edition merchandise <br />available to celebrate. A birthday party for the library is in the works for <br />September. <br />Superior is adding a new downtown location with lockers and a small <br />browsable book collection (approximately'/2 the size of the collection at <br />the Superior Community Center). Staffing plans for this additional location <br />are in the works. <br />The 2-year budget cycle is underway, and the budget is due 24 June. The <br />library is asking for an increase in the eBook budget. <br />The capital improvements budget is due at the end of March. There are <br />plans for painting and new carpet and converting the storytime room into <br />bookable space. <br />The library is taking this year off from the book donation drive. <br />Public Comments: None <br />Board Comments: <br />Heather and Weiyan will both miss the next meeting on 9 May. Laurel confirmed <br />that we would still have a quorum as long as everyone else can attend. <br />Carol asked about adding a book drop at the Louisville Rec Center on Via Appia <br />— a suggestion she received from a Superior resident. Sharon noted that adding <br />drop boxes involves considerations for staffing and the heavy lifting required. <br />Weiyan raised an issue about parking at the library, especially late afternoon on <br />weekdays. She's heard complaints from residents who are looking to quickly to <br />return materials or pick up a hold book, and finding parking takes longer than the <br />time needed to be in the library. <br />Cheryl asked about how the decision to add the Superior location was made, as <br />she hadn't heard anything about it. Wondering who is making these decisions <br />and how the LBOT can be involved. <br />Sharon will ask about getting a tour of the new location in Superior for library staff <br />and any interest Board members. <br />
