LibraryBoard | 2008-06-11 | 4 | Page 4 of 4 Minutes of the Alameda Free Library Board Meeting June 11, 2008 LIBRARY BOARD COMMUNICATIONS Outgoing President Krongold talked about her 8 years on the Board and how much she had appreciated the experience. She had worked in an elementary school library when she was young, and had fond memories of that time, so jumped in to join the Alameda Free Library Board when the opportunity presented itself. Incoming President Belikove thanked Krongold for all her many contributions, wished her all the best, and encouraged her to continue her community service. Krongold then shared that she had recently become the Education Liaison for CERT (Community Emergency Response Team), who she has worked with for some time now. Member Butter seconded the comments made by Belikove, and thanked Krongold for her excellent service and contributions over the years. One of Krongold's favorite memories will always be shaking the little children's hands as they crossed the stage during the End of Summer Reading Program Celebration. DIRECTOR'S COMMENTS Director Chisaki first read a resolution of appreciation prepared for Krongold, and signed by the rest of the Board members. Chisaki went on to give a brief update on the City's budget situation, noting that there would be a reduction in open hours and part-time staffing dollars. This, in conjunction with a $5,000 reduction in the materials budget, and minimal cuts across other categories, will enable the Library to realize the 8% cut required. The open hour's reduction will take place at both the Main and the branch locations. The official budget hearing before City Council will be on Tuesday, June 17th. ADJOURNMENT Outgoing President Krongold asked for a motion to adjourn the meeting at 7:47 p.m. Vice President Hartigan so moved; Member Mitchell seconded the motion which carried by a 5-0 vote. Respectfully submitted, Jane Chisaki Library Director and Secretary to the Library Board | LibraryBoard/2008-06-11.pdf |
