The meeting was called to order by the Chairman, Don Morgan. The minutes
of the April meeting were approved as distributed.
Larry Webber, Library Director, reported on the Tea for library volunteers
held April 21. Fort Collins Mayor Gary Cassell attended as did Councilman
Jerry Horak. Members of the Library Board who were able to attend were
Don Morgan, Lloyd Spawn and Christine Kneeland. All board members present
agreed that volunteers are very important to the library and felt that the
tea should be continued as an annual event. Certificates have been presented
to each volunteer for the past several years. Larry Webber suggested that
next year the certificates might be replaced with some other form of recog-
nition. Sarah Bennett suggested a book be Placed on the library shelves
in honor of each volunteer.
Larry Webber reported on plans for children's programming for summer 1982.
A total of $3800 has been raised. He distributed copies of the flyers that
have been printed listing the activities.
Susan Wilmar, a volunteer who is collating the results of the library users
survey, gave a preliminary report. She will meet with board members again
when all the results are tabulated.
Jane Davis, Assistant Director, distributed the library staff's statistical
report for April 1982. She also reported that nine part-time hourly employees
had been reclassified from Library Aide to Library Clerical Assistant and
that Library Aides were now eligible for some fringe benefits.
Because the library is now closed on Wednesday evenings, the regularly
scheduled meeting night for the Library Board must be changed. After some
discussion Jerry Johnson moved that the regularly scheduled meeting be
held on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. effective with the
5
-2-
June meeting. Sarah Bennett seconded the motion. It carried. The next
meeting will be June 8.
Larry Webber reviewed the proposed 1983 budget plus the supplemental
requests and cost curtailments. The proposed budget must be turned in
to the City Budget Office May 13.
Don Morgan spoke again to the value the Friends of the Library can be
to the library as fund raisers, volunteers and community advocates.
The board members asked that Jane Davis write a letter from the Board to
KCOL thanking them for the public service announcements they have been
airing telling about the hours and services of the Fort Collins Public
Library.
Larry Webber distributed copies of the report done annually for the
Colorado State Library.
The meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Jane B. Davis
