Paris Public Library Advisory Board <br />September 15, 2010 <br />Minutes <br />The Paris Public Library Advisory Board met Wednesday, September 15, 2010, at 4 p.m. in the Library Gallery. <br />Chairman Bill Kennedy called the meeting to order. Director Priscilla McAnally attended as did Board <br />Members Hilda Mallory, Debbie Anderson, Linda Vandiver, Deborah Hatley, and Eddie Poole. <br />Minutes from the previous meeting were approved with the correction of the spelling of the Loan Star Library <br />Grant. <br />This year's grant will be for $8428. Courier costs of $1525 will come from that amount as will approximately <br />$450 for a fax machine. Other suggestions include approximately $2700 for revamping the partitions in the <br />restrooms. Ebooks will also be considered. <br />Interviews to fill the part-time clerk's position will take place September 28. <br />There were no unusual budget expenditures for the month of August. The statistical report reflected a <br />significant increase in both circulation and library visits. <br />The Director suggested that we change the circulation policy so that new cardholders are limited to four items at <br />a time for their first three months. There has been a problem with new cardholders taking out large numbers of <br />items and not bringing them back. The Board unanimously supported her in this policy change. <br />The Board asked Chairman Kennedy to contact Member Audrey Lakes to advise her that she had exceeded the <br />number of absences allowed by the bylaws and was therefore being removed from the Board. <br />There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. <br />Submitted by: <br />1 L l <br />Debbie Anderson, secretary <br />- - 1.4 <br />
