Library Advisory Board <br />November 20, 2002 <br />Page 2 <br />In Adult programming, there were 3 programs which reached 52 people. <br />There were 60 interlibrary loans. <br />Rebecca Taylor, library employee, was introduced to the board. Rebecca's <br />background includes work at the Tyler Zoo as a teacher and as an aide in a <br />nursing home. Rebecca's job at the library is two -fold: she does Adult <br />Outreach, both to homebound folks and those in nursing homes and is also <br />in charge of inter - library loans. Rebecca also presents programs to adult <br />folks in nursing homes during which she picks a theme and then presents a <br />short lesson and reading session. As an interesting aside, Rebecca also feeds <br />the fish and cleans out the fish tank. <br />Callie Thompson reported a big change for the Spring Lunch: this year's <br />will take place on Tuesday, May 6th. She's hoping the day change will <br />enable more young mothers to attend. The luncheon will begin at noon at <br />the Country Club. Joy Davis will do a book review. The book will feature a <br />love story with a mystery. Callie will be sending "Save This Date" cards <br />out soon. <br />In the Director's Report, Bettie discussed the upcoming System Meeting to <br />take place Dec. 91h in Garland. Joyce Kennemer will take John Howison's <br />place at the meeting. Betty also reported on a conference she attended in <br />October. The library hosted a training session for the Tex Share Databases. <br />Two staff members attended the training. The library has purchased <br />Mitchell -on- Demand which will provide access to fix -it manuals for cars. <br />Patrons can access these manuals on -line. The new shelving should be <br />installed in January. <br />The meeting was adjourned at 4:40 p.m. <br />The next meeting will be held December 18, 2002 in the Gallery at 4 p.m. <br />Vicki Terlap Date Approved <br />
