Paris Public Library Advisory Board <br />Minutes of the Regular Meeting <br />August 15, 2107 <br />The Paris Public Library Advisory Board met in regular session Wednesday afternoon, August 15, 2007, at 4 <br />o'clock at the library. Chairman Bill Kennedy called the meeting to order. Other members in attendance were <br />Deborah Hatley, Debbie Anderson, Hilda Mallory, Fran Neeley, Linda Vandiver, Eddie Poole, and Jackie <br />Alsobrook. Also in attendance were Library Director Priscilla McAnally and Friends of the Library Co- <br />Chairman Amanda Green. <br />The minutes of the July meeting were approved as printed. The June 2007 minutes were corrected to reflect the <br />correct date of the June meeting — June 20. <br />Fran Neeley nominated Debbie Anderson as the NETLS lay representative. Eddie Poole made the motion <br />seconded by Linda Vandiver to accept her. Fran nominated Linda Vandiver as the alternate representative <br />seconded by Deborah Hatley. <br />The board absentee policy has been an addendum to the bylaws since its passage in 2000. The board agreed to <br />add this policy to the body of the bylaws. <br />At this point, the proposed library budget is the same as last year's. The council still has budget workshops to <br />go through, so that could change. <br />The statistical report reflected a decrease in circulation over July of 2006, but an increase in library visits. New <br />library cards are up as well as volunteer hours, programs, new items, memorials, and interlibrary loans. <br />Amanda Green gave the Friends of the Library report. The October luncheon is being planned. A newsletter <br />will go out in December. The Friends organization has volunteered to help buy disposable cameras for a <br />children's project. The co- chairmen plan to begin alternating months on Library Advisory Board attendance. <br />The library director has been selected to work on the strategic business plan for the city. This will help in <br />preparation of the library long range plan. <br />There being no further business, the chairman adjourned the meeting at 4:20 p.m. <br />A-txl -,, ) <br />Debbie Anderson, Secretary <br />
