Private Sector (Trustees’) Investments Report – Director Baker The BBVA account shows a balance of 134.15 which is 1 cent more than last month’s statement. The most recent Phillips financial statement has not yet arrived c. Library Director’s Report – Director Baker · We had many of our employees on vacation leave over the Holidays, and it’s really been quiet. So for the last month, it has been mostly all about keeping the desks covered and delivering exceptional customer service · Director Baker gave a speech today to the Tokay Rotary at the Richmaid restaurant. He talked to them about library programs and services. · The Library will be moving to a new ILS system this year. This will give us a unique opportunity to explore different integrated technology options. We will also be purchasing a new public copier, and looking at a new computer reservation and printing software. The print software on more modern platforms allows patrons to release the print job while at the printer to negate sensitive information from being seen. So if things go well we’ll be updating the copier, printing software, and reservation software. · 5 new Laptops have been installed in the Teen area. So now each area, adults, teen, and children all have computers for use in their areas.
