Meeting Minutes
August 12, 2008

Called to Order at 7:05 pm.
Jill, Betty, Lou, Harold, and Virginia G. in attendance.

Introductions where made with Lou Gates the new superintendent of CSD.

June minutes were approved.

It was reported that there was $9,774.18 in the account but that did not include the United Way check.

Lou shared about himself and his vision about reading. The Friends approved to purchase books for the kindergarten classes so that when they make their class visit to the Library they would get a free book. The Library would provide a program and the Friends would provide refreshments and books. Lou was going to speak with a gal at the ESD to see about a local author that would be appropriate. The Friends would need to get a stamp to stamp the books with stating the donation from the Friends.

Survey results were discussed and it was decided that Harold would check with Punkey about the remainder of the furniture funds that the Friends raised and were matched by the District since comfy furniture was the highest on wants for the Library.

The book sale/festival was discussed and it was decided that we would put an advertisement in the Giant Nickel and put it on the Tri-cities Visitor Center web site. It would also be listed on booksalefinder.com. Virginia said she would get together with Ana to go over the poster and press releases. We also need to get the book donation flier done and email the school faculty about the sale and fiesta. The Food Handler class was tabled since it was decided that the salsa and food would be by potluck.

The Library reported that there were 120 sign ups for summer reading and to date there were 33 finishers.

The meeting was adjourned at 8 pm.
