assisted was 237.
Trustee/Committee Reports:
The upcoming election for Trustees will require petitions to be circulated and returned to
Vicki between November 12-18. Anna Jesse will run again. Donna Hayes and Linda
Wiles have decided not to run. Tami Long is still considering and has permanently
stepped down as secretary. Salli Pritts will be Secretary.
Painting of the interior of the library is complete. Paint was $252.74 (using painter's
discount) and labor was $3,000.
Insurance funds deposited for repairs. Evaluation for the shingles, siding, vent cap,
facia in the upcoming week. Chris Sloth was recommended regarding the siding and
John Meuhlerbach for the roofing. The library’s small repairs have made it difficult to
secure a contractor. Plumber came to evaluate the water spot behind the office sink.
Issue is not the plumbing. Plumber thinks water is due to a bad seal on the vent pipe in
the roof above the sink.
Lego night on Thursdays will start on 9/26 using funds from the Illinois Humanities
Grant. All are welcome. There will be a garage sale on September 19 and 20th which
will include a craft swap. Monies collected will be put towards supplies for Humanities
Programming. The Bluey Bash was a great success. 100% of children who signed up
were in attendance to rotate through stations and meet Bluey. The event included five
high school volunteers who are excited to come and help in future events. Bluey also
ventured to the elementary school for an appearance.
Many other activities are planned for the coming month, including the Library Crawl,
Medicare Enrollment class, exercise classes, Zombie Apocalypse program, book club,
exercise classes and meal planning.
Meeting was adjourned at 4:20 pm with a motion by Susan Strahle and seconded by
Linda Wiles.
Respectfully submitted,
Salli Pritts
Secretary
