LibraryBoard | 2006-12-13 | 3 | Page 3 of 6 Minutes of the Alameda Free Library Board Meeting December 13, 2006 B. Friends of the Library "Day" (J. Chisaki) Director Chisaki found out it would be relatively easy to have the City Council designate a Friends of the Library day, week or perhaps month, by writing a resolution. This could be put on a City Council agenda under Special Orders of the Day, or if a party were planned, the Mayor would come and read the formal proclamation there. The board thought a Friends week might be appropriate with planned activities going on such as celebrity book readings. Friends President Skeen said she would put together a committee to come up with some ideas, and also plan an anniversary party which the Friends had wanted to do anyway around the end of March. Director Chisaki will write up the Council resolution for the Board's review. NEW BUSINESS A. Presentation on the Wood Museum (P. Ruffino and N. Ely) See notes above on the presentation for the Wood Museum. B. Library Board's Visibility in the Community (J. Chisaki) Director Chisaki asked for some direction from the Board on where they wanted her to go with this item. Board Member Krongold stated that she had been searching for materials from a strategic training session done previously, but hadn't come up with anything yet. When she locates her notes, she will pass them on to Director Chisaki who can copy and release them in an upcoming board packet. Vice President Belikove would like to see a big effort made to visit culturally diverse communities within the City, and talk to members about getting involved in library activities such as story sessions. Director Chisaki indicated that after the first of the year, there would be a series of Russian story readings taking place. Belikove mentioned having a resource list for people to refer to which would contain names of people in the community with special talents to offer as well. C. Alameda Free Library Foundation (A. Mitchell) There had not been a recent meeting so there was nothing to report. The Board asked how much money the Gala had raised; ticket sales took in over $20,000. A presentation by the Foundation is planned for the January Board meeting. A question arose on naming an area of the Library after Regina K. Stafford who left a large bequest to help fund the building of the new Main Library. It was suggested the large Community Meeting Rooms be re-named the Stafford rooms. All were in favor, and it was discussed how to approach the Foundation with this idea. Because | LibraryBoard/2006-12-13.pdf |
