Librarian's Report:
Old Business:
All categories of the budget were discussed and the Board made
suggestions when appropriate. Verne explained the certification
process for library employees and the Board discussed budgeting
monetary aid for them to participate. Also discussed was
sealcoating the parking lot and redefining the lines on it.
Lighting in the parking lot is a Board concern and Elk River
Utilities has been unresponsive to our inquiries. Mick will
contact them again as well as Wetherly Electric for other
lighting needs.
Mick will investigate publications for the purpose of advertising
steel shelving the library no longer needs.
