LibraryBoard | 2006-03-08 | 3 | Page 3 of 5 Minutes of 03/08/06 Library Board Meeting C. Friends of the Alameda Free Library (M. Skeen) Friends President Skeen announced there will be an author night program on April 7, 2006 at Books, Inc. with local author Eleanor Wiley speaking on her book "There are No Mistakes". All are encouraged to attend this event, as well as the Friends next book sale May 5, 6 and 7 at the O' Club on Alameda Point. The Friends have formed a 10-person committee to plan the grand opening November 2. Currently at issue is the staffing for the Café that will be housed in the new Main Library. The committee will meet again towards the end of March. Ms. Skeen shared that a letter to the City Manager was sent that day expressing concerns on hiring a Library Director before the grand opening of the new Library as well. Board Member Butter asked for confirmation that the Friends would be selling used books in the Café. She further inquired if the Friends thought that this might impact their regular book sales in any way. Friends President Skeen could not predict the affect, but said that they were still committed to carrying on the twice-yearly tradition at the O' Club on Alameda Point, as they do not want their inventory to build up too much. D. Library Building Watch (L. Krongold) With Board President Krongold absent, there was no news to report for the Library Building Watch newsletter. However, Acting Director Chisaki announced that Recording Secretary Merrick had volunteered to take over this piece, as Board President Krongold's time had become quite limited. E. Patron suggestions/comments (Speak-Outs) and Library Director's response. The speak-outs were inadvertently left out of Library Director Chisaki's binder by Recording Secretary Merrick who was unaware that these were to be placed there. The two existing speak-outs will be brought to the April 2006 meeting, with any new speak-outs that might come in, to share with the Board. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS, NON-AGENDA (Public Comment) SAB representative Marc Lambert indicated that BALIS is having a Tri-System Workshop at the San Francisco Public Library on April 1st from 9:00 a.m. until noon and the topic is "Beyond the Book Sale". This session is primarily directed towards Friends' groups, and it will present the opportunity for people to bring in other ideas for family-friendly fund-raising events. This information went out in the newsletter, and Marc is awaiting brochures that he can distribute. On another topic, Marc's position as the BALIS liaison will be up in June, so a replacement will need to be found. | LibraryBoard/2006-03-08.pdf |
