SOUTH MACON PUBLIC LIBRARY DISTRICT BOARD MEETING TURESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2025

Meeting was called to order at 3:35 PM by President Debbie Herbert, Trustees in attendance were Debbie Herbert, Linda Wiles, Susan Strahle, and Tami Long as well as library employees Vicki Carr and Lori Nixon.

The agenda, minutes, financial report were read and approved.

Unfinished and on/going business:

ALA grant for round three application was submitted in December.

Discussion on possible changes in Library personnel were discussed with the consensus being that the library can hopefully continue to employ Dena Wurster part time and add another part time employee. Vicki was confident that a very plausible work schedule count be put into place that would greatly enhance the services of the library using these two employees.

Core standards, Governance and Administration and Personnel were all briefly addressed by Vicki regarding the progress of programs.

Brief updates were given on the the following subjects:

storage she-hopefully in place by June.

Decatur Art Council Grant to support programs.

continue working on archives and ways to educate seniors on how to utilize these new items.

Library "design" discussion on getting it on plastic bags to put checked out items in for easier

transport and possibly on canvas bags in the future.

Meeting was adjourned at 4:05PM with a motion made by Susan Strahle and a second by Tami Long.

Respectfully submitted,

Linda Wiles

(substitute Secretary)
