The members of the Library Board and key Library staff met at the Farm at Lee Martinez Park
for a retreat facilitated by Nancy Knepel. The group listed what it liked about the current
Library service and then what service features they feel should be a part of the future large
branch library.
At 4:55 p.m. Chair, Ann Ostrye-Macdonald, convened the Library Board meeting. Linda
Saferite gave a brief Library Director's report. A lease is being negotiated for the Mini Library;
hopefully the site can be announced within a month. The grant proposal with Poudre R-1 was
outlined and is proceeding. The barcoding project is nearly complete; the material out in
circulating and the exceptions have yet to be done. The volunteer assistance received was
invaluable. The Colorado Library Association's legislative day was described. Sandra
Webermeier and Karen Dornseif expressed interest in attending with Linda.
The Library Board meeting times were discussed. Sandra Webermeier moved and Al Stone
seconded that the Library Board meetings be moved to the 3rd Thursday of the month. It passed
unanimously. It was then moved and seconded that the meetings begin at 6:00 p.m. This
passed unanimously.
The meeting adjourned at 5:05 p.m. and the retreat resumed. The group listed ways to build
community support to achieve the much needed large branch library and also discussed funding
alternatives. A committee comprised of Anne Ostrye-Macdonald, Al Stone, Karen Dornseif,
and Linda Saferite, will meet to review the retreat date and develop a recommendation for the
March 17, 1994 meeting.
The retreat adjourned at 8:35 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Linda Saferite,
Library Director
