The following Board members were present: <br />Jackie Alsobrook, Sarah Gambill, Bill Kennedy, Nancee Salzman, and <br />Walter Williams. Also attending was Betty Landon, Library Director. <br />Anna Davis, Peggy Guthrie, Joyce Kennemer and Callie Thompson, <br />Friends' President, did not attend. <br /> <br />The minutes from the December meeting were approved. <br /> <br />Under new business, Betty told the board of Joyce Kennemer's resignation <br />as of January 20. Deborah Harley's name has been forwarded for Council <br />approval for Vicki Terlap's position on the board. Carl Lucas was <br />suggested and agreed upon for Joyce Kennemer's replacement. His name <br />will be forwarded for Council approval. <br /> <br />The budget report was favorable. <br /> <br />December circulation statistics were down from last December, but not <br />significantly. The limitation on video check-outs is affecting circulation; <br />once that has been in effect for a year, the statistics will be more <br />comparable. Children's programming had 31 programs with 701 children <br />and 85 adults attending. These programs included a Christmas program <br />and visits to Chisum Elementary School. In Children's Outreach, 13 <br />programs were held with 239 children attending and 43 adults. <br /> <br />In adult outreach, there were 2 programs which 30 people attended. There <br />were 26 interlibrary loans. We had 18 memorials given for a total of $500. <br /> <br /> <br />
