Paris Public Library Advisory Board <br />November 17, 2010 <br />Minutes <br />The Paris Public Library Advisory Board met at 4 p.m. in the Library Gallery, November 17, 2010. Chairman <br />Bill Kennedy called the meeting to order. Those in attendance were Library Director Priscilla McAnally, <br />Friends of the Library Co -Chair Amanda Green, and Board Members Deborah Hatley, Linda Vandiver, Debbie <br />Anderson, and Hilda Mallory. <br />The October minutes were approved with one correction. The number of meetings that a board member may <br />miss is 25% instead of 75 %. <br />The Friends agreed to pay $25 per session for a Career Information Workshop to be coordinated and led by <br />Chris Coker. The workshop will include 1 -hour sessions on resume, application, pre - interview, and post - <br />interview helps. If there is no interest in the first session, subsequent sessions will not be held. Chris is <br />interested in developing an Academic in Residence position to be funded by grants. The Board took no action <br />on that issue. <br />The Director received a request from an individual to post a flier on the library bulletin board regarding a <br />"profiling game." The Board felt there was not enough available information and turned down the request. <br />Board members submitted names for consideration to fill the vacant Advisory Board seat. The Director will <br />contact those people and have them submit applications if they are interested in serving. <br />Circulation was down from October of last year as were library visits. Memorial donations were up., <br />The Friends have a commitment from Kathleen Kent to speak at the luncheon in April. Further details are to be <br />worked out. They are helping to pay for new library cards. Their fund currently stands at almost $15,000. <br />Due to requests from patrons, the library will host the second annual library chili cook -off November 18. The <br />Friends have volunteered to provide prizes which the Director will select. <br />There being no further business on the agenda, the meeting was adjourned at 4:30 p.m. <br />Submitted by <br />Debbie Anderson, Secretary <br />
