DIRECTOR’S REPORT: Director Betty Long presented her written report; in addition, she addressed other matters: • The Library is so fortunate to have two support groups, the Friends of the Library and the Library Foundation. The Foundation was formed as the new building was being constructed; its purpose was to support the Library with equipment purchases, programming support, etc. In 2008, the Foundation established the Children’s Fund, which has gone to provide programming, Summer Reading t-shirts, sponsoring entertainers, and other support. They recently made a donation of another $10,000.00 to the Fund. • No terms expire for members of the Board in 2013.  • There are no plans for a celebration of the Library’s 107th anniversary; the next major anniversary we will celebrate is the 110th. • Ms. Hunt spoke about how impressed she was with the February author of the month, Lonna Enox. She bought two copies of the book and was enjoying it. REVIEW OF POLICIES: Per the decision to review for the Board a few of the Library policies at each meeting, the following were chosen for review this month: • Author of the Month • Library Card Application Policy • Parking Policy • Sponsorship of Fund Raising Events • Locked Case Policy Ms. Long gave a brief explanation of each policy and asked for questions or comments.
