LibraryBoard | 2006-09-13 | 3 | Page 3 of 6 Minutes of the Library Board Meeting September 13, 2006 A flyer has been developed and will be used for various civic groups as a "Save the Date" type of announcement. There is also something being prepared that will hopefully go out in the Bank of Alameda and AP&T statements in their next mailings. Publicity packets are being put together that will go out to the regular news sources. A 16-page advertising supplement being done by the Alameda Journal will be released on October 13th. President Butter asked if there was something that could be put in the supplement to thank the citizens of Alameda for passing Measure O that made the building of the new library possible. Director Chisaki indicated that the dedication plaque for the new building would be in two pieces. The first, larger plaque would have City Council, Library Board, Library Director, architect, construction manager and project manager names on it; the second, smaller plaque would thank the Friends of the Library and Library 2000 for their hard work and the citizens of Alameda for passing Measure O by 78.3 percent. President Butter indicated a preference of seeing something in print, so Director Chisaki will check into getting something in the upcoming advertising supplement. This supplement will not only be in the Alameda Journal, it will also be in the Berkeley Voice, the Montclarion and the Piedmonter. The Library will get approximately 2,000 copies of the overrun as a giveaway. President Butter asked if the board would be able to tour the new building at their next meeting in October. Director Chisaki will explore the possibility, and let the Board know when the October meeting packet goes out. Director Chisaki continued listing Opening Day activities including who would be speaking at the event. Speeches will start at 11 a.m. and the ribbon cutting is expected at 12 noon. There is an event photographer lined up who will take digital pictures and provide us a CD. They are exploring whether AP&T or Comcast will film the event and provide a DVD for archiving and circulation purposes. Stan Bunger will be the emcee for the event and Kathy Moehring will sing the National Anthem and the Alameda song. The Chipman Cougar Cadets drum corps will perform; there will be one large cake and a lot of cookies and juice for the ribbon cutting day, kept back in the Café and courtyard area; promotional handouts such as magnets and pens have been ordered, and stickers for the children; docents will be stationed strategically around the building. Traditionally, the architect, contractor and sub- contractors send congratulatory flower arrangements - we have been told to expect about 20 arrangements. November 4th is Family Day, and entertainment will consist of a balloon sculptor who will also do some walk-around magic; Jean Paul Val Jean, who is a one-man show as a juggler, magician, contortionist and vaudevillian. Volunteers will take turns wearing a Wild Thing costume and walking through the Library. Feelers are out for some type of cultural dance group - perhaps lion dancing; a Hip Hop group out of Oakland has been contacted to come and do about a 30 minute routine. Poetry will be read for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours by 6 or 7 different poets up by the fireplace on the second floor. Cookies and juice will be the only refreshments served this day. | LibraryBoard/2006-09-13.pdf |
