Paris Public Library Advisory Board <br />April 18, 2012 <br />The Paris Public Library Advisory Board met Wednesday, April 18, 2012, in the Library Gallery with <br />Chairman Linda Vandiver presiding. In addition to all board members, Library Director Priscilla McAnally was <br />in attendance. <br />Minutes from the previous meeting were approved as printed. <br />The Board examined the updated "Request for Reconsideration of Library Materials" policy and request form <br />and approved them. <br />Budget and statistical reports were presented. The budget is on track with 50% of it expended in the first 6 <br />months of the fiscal year. <br />The new public access computer tables have been installed. The young adult collections of fiction, mystery, and <br />science fiction have been separated out from the adult collection and are now shelved in the section close to the <br />adult mysteries. The summer reading program starts June 1 at 11 a.m. and will be held on Tuesdays and <br />Fridays. <br />The Director will ask for some increases in the 2013 budget. Due to the loss of Loan Star Library funds, postage <br />costs will increase. Utility prices are increasing necessitating increases in those line items. The materials <br />collection is aging and some replacement is needed, so an additional $20,000 in the materials line item will be <br />requested. Needed building and grounds repairs will increase that line item by $4,000. An increase in equipment <br />lease and rental is requested as the public copier is quite old and may need to be replaced. Total budget request <br />increase is $29,950. <br />There being no further business on the agenda, the meeting was adjourned at 4:35 p.m. <br />Submitted by, <br />L- ,U~~GI~-~v'`'~~ <br />~ <br />Debbie Anderson, Secretary <br />20 <br />
