OLD BUSINESS
1. Cookie Walk: Sara advised that we raised $1360.50 with the cookie walk. Santa saw 45 children. The library paid for Santa to come. Glover Metal Buildings, National Exchange Bank, Jack & Bev Meyers, Grand Valley Campground, Kingston Motors, and the library donated for the Santa bags.
2. 5 Day Delivery Started: Sara reported that Winnefox has started the 5-day delivery system, but it is too early to tell how much it will make a difference.
3. Author Renee Cybul Contest: Ryker Grahn won the contest. His guess was off by only 1 of the actual count.
BUILDING PLANS:
1. Security System: Sara reported that we received $5,750 from the Barbara & Peter Stone Foundation (through the bank) to help purchase a security system for the library but has not decided on a system to purchase yet.
2. New Pump: Sara advised that there was no water in the library on Thursday and a new pump had to be installed. She will talk to Neil Siewert about getting half the cost of the pump because our water system also supplies the post office.
NEW BUSINESS
1. Rummage for Reading: Sara advised that we usually put the Rummage for Reading table out in spring but because we already have a large supply of items for the table, she would like to put it out now. Because of the success of the table, all agreed.
2. Display Table: Sara advised that she and Lori have put up a display table to help feature library books. They will be changing the displays on the table on a regular basis.
