Library Advisory Board <br />September 17, 2003 <br />MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE LIBRARY <br />ADVISORY BOARD <br />September 17, 2003 <br />The Paris Public Library Advisory Board met in regular session <br />Wednesday, September 17, 2003, at 4:OOPM in the Library with Chairman <br />Nancee Salzman presiding. The following Board members were present: <br />Jackie Alsobrook, Peggy Guthrie, Joyce Kennemer, Nancee Salzman, Vicki <br />Terlap and Walter Williams. Also attending were Betty Landon, Library <br />Director and Callie Thompson, Friends President. Sarah Gambill, Anna <br />Davis and Bill Kennedy did not attend. <br />The minutes from the August meeting were approved. <br />The date for next month's meeting has been changed to October 22 <br />because of a conflict with the NETLS quarterly meeting. <br />Bill Kennedy will take Kevin Grey's place on the Board. <br />Betty introduced staff member, Paula Rater. Paula is a Clerk I and has <br />been on the staff for two years. Paula's main responsibility is to shelve <br />books. She does non - fiction, audio, videos, biographies and some <br />children's. She said that she also cleans up stray books at the end of the <br />day. <br />Betty presented board members this month's budget. Betty reported that <br />we're getting to the end of the budget year. She has spent her state money <br />within $.47 of what the library received. She reported that the book <br />budget was over slightly, but went under $7000 on the shelving project <br />which was originally taken out of her book budget; so, the library will be <br />under the total budget this year. <br />August statistics were slightly down from last August, but the library was <br />open an additional day the previous August. Otherwise, the numbers were <br />pretty normal. <br />
