1
00:00:01,710 --> 00:00:16,070
I move to we bring this meeting to order and it is the library board meeting and its August 27th, 2026 at 7.07pm.

2
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:27,680
And we're happy to have everybody here that can make it today. So, I noticed that I'm the chair now, so that's why I'm taking over.

3
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,180
I don't know.

4
00:00:29,780 --> 00:00:30,500
I did this happen.

5
00:00:31,020 --> 00:00:32,040
We got to know.

6
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:34,080
Officially vote on it last time.

7
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,260
But that's great.

8
00:00:36,380 --> 00:00:37,500
You were affected in command.

9
00:00:38,900 --> 00:00:39,280
Okay.

10
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,260
Well, I like to win Jamie what's the cherish.

11
00:00:42,900 --> 00:00:44,700
I like it better when you're the cherish.

12
00:00:46,140 --> 00:00:46,700
Alright.

13
00:00:47,060 --> 00:00:48,780
Well, let's get started then.

14
00:00:49,820 --> 00:00:52,900
It looks like Jessy's up first with the direct to report.

15
00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:53,880
Okay.

16
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:58,680
Well, we did well, pioneer day, thank you for all the help.

17
00:01:00,660 --> 00:01:09,600
We made $1,600, definitely, which pays off the new shirts and everything that was ordered.

18
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:11,300
So we got back to ground zero.

19
00:01:12,140 --> 00:01:19,000
I'm not sure exactly of the profits over that because Square is still sending me, you know,

20
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:25,780
not bills but deposits. They come in directly to the checking account. Sometimes it takes

21
00:01:25,780 --> 00:01:32,620
a little while, but they're getting there. So we should, next month, they'll have a firm

22
00:01:32,620 --> 00:01:33,500
figure for that.

23
00:01:35,740 --> 00:01:40,060
These are new things every month. We get a few new books. These are not,

24
00:01:40,260 --> 00:01:45,480
by any means, all of them. The children's books we ordered, they've gone. I was looking

25
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:51,020
on the shelves for them. They're all checked out already. But the new books are

26
00:01:51,020 --> 00:01:57,320
always popular. I order from a list that's people come in and request books.

27
00:01:58,380 --> 00:02:02,620
And as soon as I get two requests for the same book, it's guaranteed that it's

28
00:02:02,620 --> 00:02:07,820
going to be in order. A lot of these, so a few of them have been donated that are

29
00:02:07,820 --> 00:02:11,160
not on that list, but most of them, that's how I order the books.

30
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:16,400
I'm pretty quiet

31
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:22,840
this time of year. Some are readings over. I just submitted all the reports about it to Salt Lake.

32
00:02:23,300 --> 00:02:32,490
It had 23,000 minutes read. This is a staggering to me. I guess it's not that much. I averaged it

33
00:02:32,490 --> 00:02:40,070
out. It's only like three hours a week over the 56 kids we had in the role. But yeah, sure sounds

34
00:02:40,070 --> 00:02:46,930
awesome. Yeah, it's a huge number. I was going to ask you how many kids were signed up for the

35
00:02:46,930 --> 00:02:55,030
I got 56. They were more in our file, but some of them never did anything, and some of

36
00:02:55,030 --> 00:02:58,830
them were real little. They were only in there because a big brother or a big sister was

37
00:02:58,830 --> 00:03:06,850
in. So, yeah, it's not a huge program, but for men, then I think it's pretty good.

38
00:03:09,090 --> 00:03:09,550
So,

39
00:03:10,130 --> 00:03:12,590
I think it was a success. What do you think, Heather?

40
00:03:12,590 --> 00:03:20,350
I agree. I agree that kids all seem to really love it and we have good parent support and involvement with it.

41
00:03:21,350 --> 00:03:27,850
Yeah, it was suggested that maybe next year we could do an adult reading game over the summer that that would be fun.

42
00:03:28,030 --> 00:03:28,630
I think it would be fun.

43
00:03:28,630 --> 00:03:34,690
Like you could earn tickets for the minutes you read and put them all and have a raffle at the end.

44
00:03:35,210 --> 00:03:36,190
So that could be fun.

45
00:03:36,750 --> 00:03:38,750
We'll figure that out, the logistics.

46
00:03:41,970 --> 00:03:48,450
Let's see, coming up, we have a new thing was requested, again, we're kind of request

47
00:03:48,450 --> 00:03:55,310
driven here because I don't always have a lot of ideas, but some of our teenage and young

48
00:03:55,310 --> 00:04:01,290
adult readers, they want a writer's club, so coming up, in December of 1st of October

49
00:04:01,290 --> 00:04:07,450
in there, we're working with Rand Thane, who's a published writer here, she lives in Smithfield

50
00:04:08,690 --> 00:04:11,030
She happens to be my daughter's neighbor, so I have an in.

51
00:04:12,910 --> 00:04:15,670
We'll ask her to see if she can come.

52
00:04:16,290 --> 00:04:18,650
I still need to put in a call directly to her

53
00:04:20,210 --> 00:04:23,170
and see if she can come in and talk about writing and being published.

54
00:04:23,910 --> 00:04:27,430
And that'll kick off that it'll probably be most of the time,

55
00:04:27,750 --> 00:04:30,430
you know, a group of writers who want to get together and critique.

56
00:04:32,410 --> 00:04:35,770
There's quite a few teenagers, certainly, who write.

57
00:04:35,770 --> 00:04:46,410
so we should have a form. We have Halloween coming up at the end of October. I hear

58
00:04:46,410 --> 00:04:52,330
it's on Saturday so we don't want to hold it right on Halloween. That's always a bust

59
00:04:52,330 --> 00:04:57,170
because the kids are busy elsewhere. But Heather suggested maybe the week before.

60
00:05:04,990 --> 00:05:05,750
So

61
00:05:06,910 --> 00:05:13,390
I imagine we can get the Star Wars clan here again, the kids love seeing Darth Vader and

62
00:05:13,390 --> 00:05:21,290
the Mandalorian wanderer and it's very fun, I think it's fun, yeah every year the kids

63
00:05:21,290 --> 00:05:23,450
just go, good costumes are awesome, yeah.

64
00:05:24,530 --> 00:05:31,550
I always think if anybody knows of a magician or some kind of performer type person that might

65
00:05:31,550 --> 00:05:38,990
interest kids a puppeteer maybe could be fun we'll see I have absolutely no

66
00:05:38,990 --> 00:05:46,590
connection to somebody like that if you know of anyone other than that doing

67
00:05:46,590 --> 00:05:53,330
well financially we're pretty stable at this moment we just got the new

68
00:05:53,330 --> 00:05:59,610
cleft grant which is community library enhancement fund we get it every year

69
00:05:59,610 --> 00:06:06,210
pretty much as long as I were to sign up for it comes from Salt Lake, which it

70
00:06:06,210 --> 00:06:13,050
comes from the National Museums and Libraries Funds. We got $2,300 there

71
00:06:13,050 --> 00:06:19,110
about $1 this year. We also got a new interlibrary loan grant so this next

72
00:06:19,110 --> 00:06:23,250
year's covered as far as all the postage so the library loans will still be free.

73
00:06:24,090 --> 00:06:31,590
is that through the state or yeah state funds that so as 2300 about the

74
00:06:31,590 --> 00:06:36,370
usual amount or to set a little lower every year that's just everybody's

75
00:06:36,370 --> 00:06:42,550
getting right funding so it's the same it's the same amount of money and as

76
00:06:42,550 --> 00:06:47,950
more comes come in a little bit we get a percentage of the whole amount

77
00:06:47,950 --> 00:06:56,570
the state gets and each year that amount is a little smaller. Salt Lake gets cut by you know

78
00:06:56,570 --> 00:07:01,650
$100,000. We get cut by 200. You know, it's all relative.

79
00:07:03,730 --> 00:07:05,950
Hopefully in the future that'll go up

80
00:07:05,950 --> 00:07:06,210
again.

81
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:18,040
I also applied for a small library grant which is self-explanatory. There's extra money to be

82
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:24,680
had if you were a small, um, haven't heard on that one yet. And there's one, but I don't

83
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:30,660
know really what it was, but it came up on my email and said, go for it. So I applied

84
00:07:30,660 --> 00:07:38,600
for this, it's called a competitive grant. So I'm not sure who provides it, who asks

85
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:44,020
for it anyway. We'll see what happens. Um, so yeah, our funding keeps coming in. Usually

86
00:07:44,020 --> 00:07:50,860
around Christmas, our private donors start showing up donating, which is super

87
00:07:50,860 --> 00:07:55,860
wonderful. It's really quite a lifeline. So, doing well.

88
00:07:56,220 --> 00:07:56,540
Well, good.

89
00:08:00,620 --> 00:08:05,460
Okay. Do you remember last? I think it was October. We had some

90
00:08:05,460 --> 00:08:11,440
training over in Hiram at the Hiram Library. Is that coming up again soon?

91
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:19,340
I talked to Rachel, who's our state representative, and she said that Emily,

92
00:08:21,300 --> 00:08:26,060
Hiram's director, is trying to put one together again, seeing if there's any interest,

93
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:31,180
and I let her know, yeah, we'd be interested, so hopefully that'll happen.

94
00:08:31,180 --> 00:08:33,640
So what that happened again, and October, do you think?

95
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:39,880
Yeah, we have a big book signing coming up that's taking everybody's time

96
00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:48,920
Beth Brower who writes the M. M. Lion books. She's coming to sign. She is. It's gonna be at the fairgrounds in their big hall

97
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,120
Because there's a light browser big enough

98
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,360
Yeah, is she a Utah?

99
00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:00,960
And I think she went to BYU. I don't know that she lives in Utah. She's not based in Utah as far as I know

100
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,800
Yeah, my wife and I are just reading that series.

101
00:09:03,940 --> 00:09:05,040
Oh yeah, it's fun.

102
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,560
She has other books too, as far as I know.

103
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:09,200
She does.

104
00:09:09,540 --> 00:09:09,700
Yeah.

105
00:09:11,140 --> 00:09:14,760
So yeah, she's coming in November 3rd, I think.

106
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:16,280
November 3rd.

107
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,080
So hopefully we'll also get the training going,

108
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,480
because we need to do that once a year.

109
00:09:24,370 --> 00:09:25,650
What's her last name again?

110
00:09:26,590 --> 00:09:27,230
Or her.

111
00:09:27,390 --> 00:09:28,030
Beth Brower.

112
00:09:28,610 --> 00:09:29,210
What was it, Beth?

113
00:09:29,670 --> 00:09:30,970
Yes, Emma's the character.

114
00:09:30,970 --> 00:09:33,990
Okay. I'll

115
00:09:38,380 --> 00:09:39,600
have to be watching for that.

116
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:46,240
We'll have signs up and it'll be out on our social media stuff and everything.

117
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:52,920
I never see that social media stuff. So if anybody hasn't put to it, talk to me or to Heather Richards.

118
00:09:58,510 --> 00:10:04,830
All right. Well, thank you just see any comments or anything for Jesse.

119
00:10:08,220 --> 00:10:09,000
Oh, sounds great.

120
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:19,020
Yeah, okay. Well, great. Yeah, Ben said he had other conflicts tonight. So, board business,

121
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:26,860
shall I remember that you and Kim maybe were working on something last two months ago?

122
00:10:27,500 --> 00:10:33,340
Yes. Do you want to update us on that? Tell us about it, too, because I can't remember exactly.

123
00:10:33,340 --> 00:10:37,340
I know I I mean I know what you're talking about and my brain is trying to catch up

124
00:10:37,940 --> 00:10:40,820
Okay, we were it was if you

125
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:49,480
If you non-residents non-resident could be on the board. Yes, basically they said talk to your lawyer

126
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:51,820
Not in a mean way

127
00:10:53,300 --> 00:10:58,180
She phrased it very nicely and very slightly and so the lawyer would be like the city

128
00:10:58,860 --> 00:11:02,460
Attorney yes, okay, and we kind of figured that it probably wasn't worth

129
00:11:04,020 --> 00:11:09,160
spending the lawyers' time and city's budget talking to him.

130
00:11:11,300 --> 00:11:14,600
She also said if you want

131
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:22,460
ideas of how to recruit or ways and means that she could help out there, but it

132
00:11:22,460 --> 00:11:26,900
it sounds like residents citizens was pretty good.

133
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:32,400
Okay, well, that sounds good, but thank you.

134
00:11:35,380 --> 00:11:40,020
Let's see, is there any other board business I don't really have anything?

135
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:42,500
We don't have enough.

136
00:11:42,680 --> 00:11:44,660
We should be collecting your office.

137
00:11:46,940 --> 00:11:50,360
So we need five for our quorum.

138
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:55,060
Can we put that off to October then?

139
00:11:55,740 --> 00:11:56,700
Yes, we have.

140
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:57,260
Or whatever.

141
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:04,740
We can potentially vote via email.

142
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:15,200
We also are supposed to vote to approve last meeting's minutes each time.

143
00:12:19,560 --> 00:12:22,540
But we haven't really been doing that.

144
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:23,080
Sorry.

145
00:12:40,370 --> 00:12:44,070
I don't think either of them have gone through the process yet.

146
00:12:46,010 --> 00:12:54,110
I know that Bailey was out of town the week of City Council meeting and I haven't

147
00:12:54,110 --> 00:12:58,330
checked back with Kaya, but I'm quite sure that she wasn't there.

148
00:13:00,980 --> 00:13:02,980
We'll have City Council getting in October.

149
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:05,060
I know, September.

150
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,500
Yeah, September and October.

151
00:13:07,820 --> 00:13:09,940
Well, yeah, as potentials.

152
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,520
So, yeah, I'll reach out to both of them

153
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,560
and Kim didn't mention who she had as a new board member.

154
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,400
but I love that she does.

155
00:13:31,500 --> 00:13:38,180
So if we do end up having the training which we do need

156
00:13:38,180 --> 00:13:44,060
to do have training it does not have to be in that form but it's pretty convenient

157
00:13:44,060 --> 00:13:46,880
and to attend rather than plan our own.

158
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:47,600
That's so true.

159
00:13:47,820 --> 00:13:49,840
Rachel says she's willing to come up anytime.

160
00:13:50,900 --> 00:13:51,220
True.

161
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:52,020
OK.

162
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,120
So if we have that training, but we still

163
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,240
don't have officers or haven't officially

164
00:13:59,860 --> 00:14:04,840
welcomed the new members yet, we might need to have a board

165
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,860
meeting in October and have the training instead

166
00:14:08,860 --> 00:14:10,960
of combining them like we did last year.

167
00:14:11,020 --> 00:14:11,280
OK.

168
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:12,440
That sounds good.

169
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:23,790
So would that be the best way to do it? It's way to October. Do you think the emails or texting would be better?

170
00:14:24,590 --> 00:14:30,830
I think the sooner we can get them confirmed with City Council, the better.

171
00:14:32,390 --> 00:14:39,190
So I will talk to them in time so that they could do the September City Council.

172
00:14:43,150 --> 00:14:48,230
And if we have them ready and if the training is coming up before our meeting, then yeah,

173
00:14:48,310 --> 00:14:49,930
maybe we'll do it with three minutes.

174
00:14:52,150 --> 00:14:58,890
But it's also kind of hard to get new officers elected if those potential ones would be the new members.

175
00:14:58,890 --> 00:14:59,610
First run.

176
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:05,320
Because we always like to give jobs to new people, right? Yeah.

177
00:15:07,900 --> 00:15:08,800
That's what I got.

178
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:31,880
From the perpetual board calendar. Those were the things to cover in August. And we. Okay. Yeah, I've heard about the club and the annual board training. Okay. So we still don't have a date on this, but. Right. It's a couple months away. So. Yeah. So it's.

179
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:38,020
It's trying to be planned and so if that does fall through then we should do our own training.

180
00:15:38,460 --> 00:15:38,780
Yeah.

181
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:39,140
Okay.

182
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:40,160
All right.

183
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:41,360
Okay.

184
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,820
I can give Emily a call over and I will see what she's doing.

185
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:45,800
Okay.

186
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:50,940
Sounds great.

187
00:15:52,100 --> 00:15:52,680
All right.

188
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,380
So, election of new officers.

189
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:55,960
Let's see.

190
00:15:56,300 --> 00:15:57,260
Future business.

191
00:15:57,700 --> 00:15:58,900
You just showed me that.

192
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,100
And the future business would be maybe the October.

193
00:16:04,820 --> 00:16:09,760
Okay, so in October, review and update the three-year strategic plan.

194
00:16:12,820 --> 00:16:17,660
So does the board put that together with the help of Jesse?

195
00:16:18,460 --> 00:16:20,740
Is that usually how that works?

196
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:31,500
The chair and vice chair kind of get a framework with input from the rest of the board members,

197
00:16:31,500 --> 00:16:37,600
but it is kind of the the chair and vice chair that kind of make it and then

198
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:48,040
propose it. It's pretty well set up. There should be one in your binder to kind

199
00:17:18,140 --> 00:17:25,100
So we just kind of shift those over one and then make a plan for 2028 potentially.

200
00:17:25,100 --> 00:17:36,360
Okay, and the stuff that we would do, it's a plan, it doesn't have to be, like, said and stolen ideas.

201
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,000
It's just ideas.

202
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:45,640
So I need to cover this, it looks like, and you said me and the vice chair kind of look at that.

203
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,760
I guess the secretary could help since we don't have a vice chair yet.

204
00:17:50,180 --> 00:17:56,340
Okay, the new computers for the front desk, they were on there for like four years and getting rid of the chairs.

205
00:17:56,740 --> 00:18:00,120
Yeah, just keep moving up. Yeah, they're trying to get done so.

206
00:18:02,020 --> 00:18:09,440
Okay, well that's something, it looks like we have 2025 and they're still, so we need to move up one here then.

207
00:18:09,980 --> 00:18:15,060
Okay, all right, was there a time that you'd like to work on that?

208
00:18:15,060 --> 00:18:15,320
to her.

209
00:18:19,380 --> 00:18:29,800
Yes, but probably not in the next week or two. Okay. We like school just got

210
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:35,580
back in session and my daughter's doing a week and she's living with us and I'm really

211
00:18:35,580 --> 00:18:41,820
excited. It is super exciting. I understand how that is. But scheduling's a little who knows

212
00:18:41,820 --> 00:18:48,380
right now. Well can you just text me or something when you have a few minutes? I'm

213
00:18:48,380 --> 00:18:56,540
usually pretty open, since I'm retired now. I can usually get open. Okay. Okay,

214
00:18:57,700 --> 00:19:05,060
and if I remember I'll call you in a few weeks if I've heard from. Sounds good. Okay. All right so that

215
00:19:05,060 --> 00:19:11,080
That needs to be updated and let's see, we're showing you that.

216
00:19:16,260 --> 00:19:17,960
So that was for October itself.

217
00:19:18,660 --> 00:19:20,200
Yes, I think it is.

218
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,120
I was looking at that earlier tonight.

219
00:19:26,660 --> 00:19:27,740
No, not that one.

220
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:29,860
Okay, never mind, I'm not sure where yours is.

221
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:30,120
Okay,

222
00:19:33,060 --> 00:19:34,980
so the strategic plan needs updated.

223
00:19:35,140 --> 00:19:39,340
This helps the director repair the next year's budget based on port goals.

224
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:39,900
Okay.

225
00:19:39,900 --> 00:19:44,840
Okay, so we need to come up with some goals and then we'll tell Jesse.

226
00:19:45,620 --> 00:19:51,540
But it's come out in March and April, the first draft and then they get approved in June.

227
00:19:52,300 --> 00:19:52,620
Okay.

228
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:54,000
We got time.

229
00:19:54,460 --> 00:19:54,880
Yeah, okay.

230
00:19:54,880 --> 00:20:02,040
So this is like just the beginning of ideas and when we meet again in February is when we can finalize ideas.

231
00:20:02,300 --> 00:20:02,620
Okay.

232
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,080
But having kind of an outline is the goal.

233
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,000
I'm just going to stick in there and get an outline to get.

234
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:09,280
all

235
00:20:18,020 --> 00:20:23,690
right so that would be the future business anything

236
00:20:31,270 --> 00:20:33,730
else that you can see on this that

237
00:20:34,390 --> 00:20:41,330
needs to come up for review or well Jamie you mentioned you took

238
00:20:41,830 --> 00:20:50,870
pictures of the readers yeah just of George and I've made two posters and then I was

239
00:20:50,870 --> 00:20:54,990
going to make a third and then just I have his mom's number so I'm just going to text him to her

240
00:20:55,450 --> 00:21:01,770
and let him pick which one he likes. And then I'll get that printed. And I'll print two copies again and one for him and one for the library.

241
00:21:02,710 --> 00:21:03,270
Very thanks.

242
00:21:05,700 --> 00:21:07,640
I have an in good authority who's very excited.

243
00:21:08,260 --> 00:21:09,820
I think we'll have his screen poster.

244
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:16,760
Yeah, the ride on the fire engine was a screaming success.

245
00:21:19,340 --> 00:21:23,380
The fireman let him run the siren in the morning.

246
00:21:23,380 --> 00:21:33,780
Oh wow. He was, he was the noisiest fire engineer. That's a lot of power to hold. So yeah, I bet he was, that was great.

247
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:41,140
Yeah, she was walking through the library trying to decide what the best location we need for his poster.

248
00:21:41,700 --> 00:21:45,360
Okay. We should get him in the right spot.

249
00:21:46,180 --> 00:21:55,120
little James, he always checks his poster when he's here, it's okay. We might want to update

250
00:21:55,120 --> 00:22:00,960
some of the old ones too, like this one here of the Youth Council is really dated.

251
00:22:01,780 --> 00:22:17,120
Ali's like 18 now, and Cassie's on mission? I think Aaron graduated last year, so yeah, we can, and I see

252
00:22:17,820 --> 00:22:28,820
Mingos, yeah, and probably get a bingo instead. We should get, you know, you guys as a library board, we should have a picture and with your books.

253
00:22:28,820 --> 00:22:33,240
That's amazing. We need to update the website. That's something we should put for future

254
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,160
items as soon as we have the website. Anybody know about website?

255
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:50,140
There's a lot that I was able to do with, you know, just like we had when you first

256
00:22:50,140 --> 00:22:54,960
come out, we had vendors coming up for things from December last year and things like that.

257
00:22:55,180 --> 00:23:00,080
I was able to fix some of those things, but there are some things in there that I don't know

258
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:06,360
how to change. Like we really need to update emails and the staff and the boarders and

259
00:23:06,360 --> 00:23:17,080
that was not set up in a way to be easily trashed. I think I can contact Brian, the man

260
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:22,280
that put the website together, and he will update those forests if we send him a list.

261
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:31,480
So I'll do that. Get you guys where you should be. Does anybody object to have their email

262
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:35,340
address online. Is that okay? Okay.

263
00:23:41,710 --> 00:23:43,850
If you guys weren't here for when we got the

264
00:23:43,850 --> 00:23:50,470
website the state offered free of charge to make a website for us and the fellow

265
00:23:50,470 --> 00:23:57,270
that created it works for the state library board. So he's always available which

266
00:23:57,270 --> 00:24:03,310
was a huge step forward. Our old website was clunky and really hard to do.

267
00:24:06,310 --> 00:24:06,870
I never

268
00:24:06,870 --> 00:24:12,330
And so this one's much more user-friendly, and we have constant backup, which is

269
00:24:12,870 --> 00:24:18,550
wonderful. I don't have to pay for it. So that is also a win, it's all a good thing.

270
00:24:19,450 --> 00:24:26,610
So he will continue to do that service once more? Yeah, it's one of the state libraries offering now

271
00:24:26,610 --> 00:24:33,490
because so many websites were like ours, they were just a mess. And not like almost counterproductive if

272
00:24:33,490 --> 00:24:40,790
they have like old schedules and old phone numbers and they were detractive and so this

273
00:24:40,790 --> 00:24:46,910
is if you go to any of the state libraries now they all look alike. So it's kind of nice

274
00:24:46,910 --> 00:24:51,890
to be part of the group. Yeah, I agree.

275
00:24:55,900 --> 00:24:56,800
Anything else, Jamie?

276
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,820
Here's one. It's a weird request

277
00:25:02,820 --> 00:25:09,620
or thing. The ends of these shelves, a couple of them with back here in your nettles. We'd

278
00:25:09,620 --> 00:25:12,620
I like to put a tiny, tiny shelf on the end,

279
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,400
like a little bookshelf or a little table

280
00:25:14,780 --> 00:25:15,880
to put our new books on.

281
00:25:16,340 --> 00:25:18,960
So the kids can see, I mean, they always see

282
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:20,740
that they find them, I just play,

283
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,560
bookshelf kind of thing, just to set a few of them

284
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:27,840
and put them on and you can get an adult book.

285
00:25:28,020 --> 00:25:30,040
So just set them up so they can see

286
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,780
what we've gotten in the past few weeks.

287
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,720
So you're going to cross one like that.

288
00:25:35,900 --> 00:25:37,440
I can't hide it all the time,

289
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:42,060
A tiny little shelf like that that isn't very deep is hard to find.

290
00:25:42,620 --> 00:25:50,240
Did you think I'm like a six by six or like six inches deep and like six inches across

291
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:50,540
town?

292
00:25:50,540 --> 00:25:50,900
I don't know.

293
00:25:51,020 --> 00:25:58,400
Like across the end of the bookshelf and stand on the floor like so wouldn't be attached

294
00:25:58,400 --> 00:25:59,100
to them.

295
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:04,880
No, just a free standing like a little shelf you know comes out this far and we can sit books

296
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:05,380
on it.

297
00:26:05,380 --> 00:26:16,240
I don't know what to have shelves underneath, but just like simple, you know, I proud of the thrift stores all the time, I haven't found any yet.

298
00:26:19,060 --> 00:26:26,000
I mean, they're a little tall, but the teens that are reading them tall, right?

299
00:26:27,260 --> 00:26:31,120
But just kind of putting them on the top, kind of like you have the...

300
00:26:37,220 --> 00:26:37,580
I

301
00:26:41,900 --> 00:26:42,520
don't know.

302
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:43,740
Can you reach the top of the shelves?

303
00:26:43,980 --> 00:26:44,720
I can make you work.

304
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:48,980
They can have the edge.

305
00:26:49,540 --> 00:26:49,760
Yeah.

306
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:52,960
We do have the little stools.

307
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:58,320
They always end up under the desk out there, but those are one of them supposed to be back

308
00:26:58,320 --> 00:26:58,540
here.

309
00:26:58,700 --> 00:27:00,200
But it travels everywhere.

310
00:27:04,700 --> 00:27:07,140
I think the little kids, they like to stand on it to see.

311
00:27:07,500 --> 00:27:07,800
Oh, yeah.

312
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:14,860
they come up and we have long conversations with some of them, it seems like it's

313
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:18,180
too

314
00:27:18,180 --> 00:27:19,540
hard to have any candy to do.

315
00:27:21,940 --> 00:27:27,220
The director's conference is coming up and I was at URS talking to, they want us to bring

316
00:27:27,220 --> 00:27:32,160
swag that we give away at our library and maybe it's had origins and I were looking at each

317
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,520
other going, we don't give away anything of swag.

318
00:27:38,460 --> 00:27:46,620
I thought they were like some rubber band bracelets at one point and we like threw them out in a parade a couple of years ago

319
00:27:46,620 --> 00:27:48,900
but we gave all those away.

320
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,340
But yeah, that was the idea, right?

321
00:27:50,460 --> 00:27:52,840
We were like Mayday 2019.

322
00:27:54,260 --> 00:27:55,520
So they were...

323
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:58,780
Yeah, that's the kind of swag we have.

324
00:27:58,780 --> 00:27:59,360
Yeah.

325
00:27:59,700 --> 00:28:00,220
Okay.

326
00:28:05,830 --> 00:28:06,670
Hard way, anything.

327
00:28:07,310 --> 00:28:07,770
I don't know.

328
00:28:08,090 --> 00:28:09,770
I can't really think of anything.

329
00:28:10,610 --> 00:28:10,690
Yeah.

330
00:28:12,890 --> 00:28:14,010
Is everybody good, Doug?

331
00:28:15,130 --> 00:28:15,650
Yes.

332
00:28:15,910 --> 00:28:16,270
All right.

333
00:28:16,870 --> 00:28:19,050
So, how do you bring a meeting to a close?

334
00:28:22,060 --> 00:28:23,360
I move that way.

335
00:28:26,780 --> 00:28:27,120
Oh.

336
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:33,800
I know where it is.

337
00:28:34,140 --> 00:28:36,760
I move to close to me.

338
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:37,460
Close to me.

339
00:28:37,780 --> 00:28:38,220
Okay.

340
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:39,500
Do I hear a second?

341
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:40,800
I second.

342
00:28:41,340 --> 00:28:41,520
Okay.

343
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:45,160
All right.

344
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:46,100
Well, thanks everybody.

345
00:28:46,100 --> 00:28:47,980
