Paris Public Library Advisory Board <br />Monthly Meeting <br />March 18, 2009 <br />The Paris Public Library Advisory Board met at 4 p.m., Wednesday, March 18, 2009, in the Library Gallery. <br />Chairman Bill Kennedy called the meeting to order. Other board members in attendance were Debbie <br />Anderson, Linda Vandiver, Deborah Hatley, Hilda Mallory, and Jackie Alsobrook. Library Director Priscilla <br />McAnally was present as was Friends of the Library Co-Chair Amanda Green. <br />Minutes from the previous meeting were approved as printed. Two board members have terms expiring next <br />month. Jackie Alsobrook is not eligible for another term. Debbie Anderson is eligible to serve another term. <br />Recommendations for new members were noted. <br />Dave Whittingham, a retired NASA engineer, has donated an M.C. Escher mobile to the library. The Director is <br />still researching prices and options for the ELMO. The budget is on track except in the associations line item <br />where the expenses have run over budget. The statistical report reflected a decrease in circulation over February <br />of last year as well as a decrease in visits. Audio circulation numbers are skewed due to a data entry oversight. <br />Numbers should be an accurate reflection next month as this error is being corrected. Data for interlibrary loans <br />was not available due to a transition in personnel. <br />The Friends luncheon is scheduled for Tuesday, March 24. The number of registrations is disappointing, and <br />thought is being given to not hosting another luncheon. <br />Courtni McEntyre has been hired as a full-time clerk. Book signings by Eddie Fitzgerald and Delbert Davis are <br />scheduled for next Thursday, March 26. <br />The director will be in Nashville Apri12°d-4h for the Public Library Spring Symposium. <br />Bill Kennedy suggested a series of adult travel programs. He and Jackie Alsobrook will work on this project. <br />There being no further business on the agenda, the meeting was adjourned at 4:30 p.m. <br />Submitted by <br />; aaom~ <br />~y~~~ <br />Debbie Anderson, Secretary <br />- (_1 n nn 12 <br />
