PRESENT: BOARD -- Sarah Bennett, Wilson Wilmarth, Robert Burns, Anne

The minutes of the March 17 meeting were approved as distributed.
Wilson Wilmarth reported that the gift of landscaping for the new
building is still very much a possibility which he will continue to
look into.
Sarah Bennett asked the library board to continue to push the museum
because of the board's desire to support the Cultural Resources Board
in the development of the museum program and also because of the necessity
of getting the old museum torn down from the entry of the new library.
Larry Webber reported that the final bill from Rohlf & Gibson,
Library Consultants, had been paid.
Larry Webber distributed copies of Mike Keefe's monthly report
on the building program. He reported the building 60% completed, that
the completion date is now projected as the first week in September,
that the next bid package will go out on April 19, and that the glass
has begun to come in.
Fund raising committee will meet again tomorrow. The luncheon
netted around $180.00. AAUW has given $800.00 and the KAM Foundation
Of Monmouth, Illinois has given a gift of $50.00.
The fund raising committee's gift recognition policy was discussed.
The board requested Larry Webber to draft a policy for accepting gifts,
donations, and memorials both for the new building and for the future.
There was an extended discussion of policy for use of the meeting
room in the new building. Questions which must be decided have to do
with scheduling, expenses, kitchen use, janitorial service, priority
for library meetings. The board feels that the library programs should
have first priority for meeting room use, but that any policy should
assure maximum use of the room. The library board requested Larry Webber
to draft a policy and send a copy to the board before the next regular
meeting.
The meeting was then adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Jane Davis, Secretary Pro-tem
