Library Board of Trustees Meeting Minutes—DRAFT January 12, 2017 Page 4 of 6 B. Superior Board of Trustees Update (S. Hammerly) • Sandie explained that almost half of the Superior Town Board is new and they are beginning by focusing on communication with the citizens. o Maybe a meeting with citizens about the Library will be scheduled in the future in an effort to facilitate communication. • Sports Stable is open and has some meeting room space. • Superior is working to design a new library book drop at the Superior Town Hall so residents can drop off books at any hour of the day. C. Library Foundation Report (R. Gurganus) Renee attended the last foundation meeting. At that meeting, Library staff explained the summer reading program to the Foundation members. Other items of note: • The Foundation had not received all the end of year donations but did give $3000 to begin 2017. • New Book Bags at $15.00 each will be available at the circulation desk. • Next Foundation meeting is Feb. 23 at 5pm. • The Board will try to arrange a joint meeting with the Foundation at our March meeting. • Ashley noted that the Library Board and the Library Foundation are used in the City as an example of how these two separate groups should function. The Library Board of Trustees is a Council -appointed group and the Foundation is a completely independent organization with no ties to the City. D.
