Paris Public Library Advisory Board <br />August 18, 2010 <br />Minutes <br />Chairman Bill Kennedy called the meeting to order at 4 p.m. in the Library Gallery. Members attending were <br />Linda Vandiver, Hilda Mallory, and Debbie Anderson. Library Director Priscilla McAnally also attended. <br />Minutes from the previous meeting were approved as printed. <br />There was about $7000 left at the end of July in the book budget. The Director has been selecting replacement <br />books with that money. Next year's budget will be about $15,000 less than this year's. <br />Circulation and visits were down slightly from July 2009. New cards and internet usage were up. The <br />downloadable music and book programs are being used more and more as word of their availability spreads. <br />The Friends of the Library will be buying a laptap for use with the elmo to show dvd's, movies, and PowerPoint <br />presentations. <br />I v,. <br />Next years Star Libraries grant will be for $8,428. Part of that will be used for the interlibrary loan courier <br />service. We are open to suggestions for other projects. <br />The Director has started weeding in the Children's section, especially those books for which we have multiple <br />copies. Hargis Electric will begin replacing some of the lights at the end of the month. Funding for this project <br />will include some money moved from the Spanish book collection as those books are not circulating well. <br />There being no further business on the agenda, the meeting was adjourned at 4:20 p.m. <br />Submitted by <br />Debbie Anderson, Secretary <br />
