LibraryBoard | 2006-11-08 | 6 | Page 6 of 6 Minutes of the Alameda Free Library Board Meeting November 8, 2006 Bunger's brother, Craig Bunger, videoed the event, as did Frank Green from AP&T. He will send Director Chisaki a DVD, and also broadcast the event on the AP&T Alameda channel. Press releases had been sent to the Journal, the Sun, the Times Star, the Chronicle, several radio stations and all the television stations. It is unknown which of these groups actually showed up at the event. Stan Bunger gave a couple of plugs on KCBS in the morning before the ceremony. Board Member Mitchell complimented both Director Chisaki and Board President Butter for the talks they gave. He thought they were excellent, succinct and to the point. Director Chisaki mentioned that staff has worked incredibly hard to get the Library ready for this opening, and once it opened, they had been real troopers. The long hours that have been put in, and the lack of complaints have been amazing. Vice President Belikove inquired if there was anything the Board could do to honor the staff. This will be given some thought; suggestions are welcome. City Manager, Debra Kurita, will co-host a coffee and pastry event with Director Chisaki, to thank the staff for the successful opening as well. The branch staff also deserves recognition for carrying the load while the Main Library was closed, which was considerable. Community meetings for branch improvements will probably be scheduled to begin in late January, once things are a little more settled. Councilmember Matarrese has a flyer out regarding this already, asking the community for ideas on what could be done to improve the branches. ADJOURNMENT Board President Butter called for a motion to adjourn the meeting at 8:07 p.m. Board Member Mitchell SO moved, Board Member Krongold seconded the motion, and it was carried by a 5-0 vote. Respectfully submitted, Jane Chisaki Library Director and Secretary to the Library Board This meeting's agenda was posted 72 hours in advance in accordance with the Brown Act. | LibraryBoard/2006-11-08.pdf |
