Library Advisory Board September 17, 2003 Page 2 There was no children's programming in August; therefore, no report was made. Children's programming resumes in September. In adult outreach, there were 2 programs which 31 people attended. There were 33 interlibrary loans. Items were delivered to four homebound patrons. We had 45 memorials given for a total of $945 Callie Thompson reported that the Fall Program will take place on Tuesday, October 7 at the Paris Golf and Country Club. The program will include local vocalists performing duets. The cost is $20 and includes lunch. In the Director's Report, Betty discussed several items. The shelving is almost finished! We are lacking some end panels and a small section of wood shelving for the audio room. The Large Print books have all been shifted. The library received a free spinner rack for Large Print books from Random House; it will be used to display new Large Print books. The children's videos are being moved into the video room to make room for books. The library will present a workshop on repairing audio and video cassettes, as well as minor book repairs, on October 11 from 2-4 p.m. in the Gallery. There will be a NETLS meeting on October 15 in Jacksonville. No changes were made in the library's budget for the coming year. Betty did not ask for any additional money, but set aside about $6000 for a new air conditioning unit which will probably have to be replace this coming year. Board member, Peggy Guthrie, talked about wanting to do a program for next year's Hispanic Heritage Month, which takes place every September. She would like to work with Emily on a puppet show and treats to celebrate. The meeting was adjourned at 4:46 p.m. The next meeting will be held on October 22 at 4 p.m. in the Gallery.
