Unofficial Meeting 4-12-2012

We did not have a quorum at tonight’s meeting, but continued with an unofficial meeting.  In attendance were Marion Abrams, Eunice MacDonald Rice and Angelique Lee.  Sharon Mayer arrived in time for a recap.

- Paint color for the interior of the library was discussed, it was suggested that we recommend to the building committee that they pick warm tones that would compliment the burgundy rug we already own, and the existing curtains.  Since we did not have a quorum at the meeting we will confirm the suggestion with the board via e mail before submitting it.

- Angelique presented research on computer pricing.  A good mini tower with better quality processor, RAM, monitor and speakers that we hope would last 3 to 5 years will cost about $900.  Eunice will research possible discounts.  We discussed several funding ideas and hope to be able to afford 2 computers.  

- Layout was discussed.  It was decided we will use as much of the existing shelving as possible.  Sharon will research the possibility of a built in main desk.  Angelique will check on used furniture options as well.  We discussed shelving (bookstore vs. traditional library layout), children’s area, and shelving of non-fiction picture books.

- Eunice was asked to compile a complete accounting of Irene related donations and dumpster expenses.  We will publish the report on our web site and via e mail.  

- A letter to the trustees from the Women’s Alliance and Historical Society was read at the meeting.  Because we did not have a quorum we felt we would hold off on discussion until more board members were present.

- Summer & Fall events: we expect volunteers will be very busy getting the library re-opened.  We discussed a few of our most popular programs to work toward.  We are anticipating a grand opening (with possible CLiF support), Bike Rodeo, Pittsfield photo contest and calendar, ginger bread house decorating, and a possible children’s poetry program.

- Sean lee is organizing a poker game to benefit the library.

- Town officer training was discussed, none of our trustees are able to attend.

- Marion will take on mail pick up, and deliver financial mail to Eunice.

- Marion and Angelique will test Collectorz software for automation.
