I. The April 2, 1996 regular meeting of the Allen Library Board was called to order at 7:30 p.m.
by Board Chair, Fritz Dietrich. Members present were Julie Wilmoth, Eric Liepins, doma
Vamus, and Sharon Curtis. Also present was Library Director Barbara Buehler and City
Engineer George Connor.
U. City Engineer George Conor presented information regarding city offices. The council has
looked at several options and has decided they need to move their chambers to the Library
Meeting Room. They will wait to move until after the library's summer reading program is
over. The library board toured the meeting room to view the proposed layout and George
Connor also led a group around the existing Council chambers to compare the size and lay -out.
ID. The minutes from the March 5, 1996 meeting were reviewed. Dora Vanous suggested the
minutes I include that the topic of the NETLS meeting was "fundraising." Sharon Curtis moved
and Eric Liepins seconded for approval of the minutes as corrected.
IV. The monthly statistical report/suggestion box review. Barbara passed out the March statistical
summary for review, as well as items from the suggestion box. An increase in foot traffic and
the total items checked out were noted. Suggestion box items were read and discussed.
V. Planning for April 4 Council Meeting. Library Board Chair Fria Dietrich will make a
presentation to the City Council regarding the library board's concerns about the council's move
to the Library Meeting Room. Other Library Board members are encouraged to attend the
council meeting.
VI. Other Business. A representative from Bloodcare would like to come speak to the library board
at the next meeting so Barbam will arrange that. Barbara also reported that she attended the
Public Library Association National Conference in Portland, OR last week and shared
information about that conference with the board members. The board also discussed the
possibility of a combination high school/city public library for Allen as has been discussed by
the High School for the Future committee. Barham serves on that committee and will continue
to provide information in that regard.
VD. A motion was made by Donna Vmous and seconded by Sharon Curtis to adjourn at 9:03 p.m.
