OLD BUSINESS
1. Photo Club: Sara advised that people told her they never received an email from Kathy to start a photo club. Sara suggested that Kathy send the email again from the library. Kathy will look to see if she still has the list and advised that she was thinking of having another workshop in the fall.
2. Summer Reading Program: Sara advised that the Summer Reading program is going well with 18 kids at the first two programs. They will be going to the Berlin pool again on July 18 and Jean will work the library that day so Sara can go with the group. A new program was discussed for next year in the hopes of keeping the older kids involved in the reading program.
3. Purdy: Having Purdy at the library on Saturdays has not been a success. She is working at summer school now and will try switching to Thursdays when summer school is finished.
BUILDING PLANS:
1. Outside Building Painting: Quotes were reviewed from Monte Draeger and Pat Webster for the painting project. After a discussion, Jean made a motion to accept the bid from Monte Draeger. The motion was seconded by Kathy and passed.
2. Fire Inspection – Exit Light: Sara advised that the exit light was replaced at the cost of $70.
3. Back Door: Sara advised that Ben Moderow will stop in at the library tomorrow to look at the door.
4. Awning: Sara advised that she signed the proposal from Baraboo Tent & Awning and made a down payment of half the cost ($463.50). No date was given for the installation of the awning over the back window.
NEW BUSINESS
1. Tupperware Fundraiser: Chrissy is now selling Tupperware and would like to sponsor a fundraiser for the library. She will be at the library on August 8 at 6:00 p.m. to take orders. 40% will go to the library and she will donate 10% of her commission as well as $10 for every party booked that day.
