            Ms. Falasz-Peterson reported that we have received our OCLC pricing for next year.  There will be an increase of approximately $300. 

 

            The board received an updated troubleshooting list for their disaster plans.  Ms. Falasz-Peterson has received the requirements for per capita grant 2008 and updating the disaster plan is a requirement although it didn’t specify what the requirements will be, she felt this update would be a good start.

 

            Ms. Falasz-Peterson updated the board on the Playaway grant that we are participating in with the Alliance Library System.  The playaway materials that we have purchased so far have been put out for circulation.  They are located above the media items.

 

            There was discussion on the upcoming board election.  Ms. Falasz-Peterson contacted Marilyn Humphrey who said she would think about it.  Rose Chenoweth stated that she would be interested in being appointed to our board.  Ms. Falasz-Peterson also spoke to Matt Fick.  Mrs. Cole suggested contacting JoAnn Dobbelaire.

            Ms. Falasz-Peterson reported on the community open house on February 26, 2007.  She reported that the February speaking engagements were cancelled due to inclimate weather.   Ms. Falasz-Peterson, Miss McKeever and Mrs. Herring will be speaking at Fondulac Park District on March 7, 2007.

 

            Ms. Falasz-Peterson informed the board that we have not yet received our per capita letter.  She handed out per capita recommendations in percentages instead of amounts, based on past expenditures.  M/S/P (Johnston/Lasswell) to approve per capita recommendations.

 

            There was discussion on the proposed lending limit policy.   The changes include no limit on books and magazines and change the limit on videos and DVDs to five each.  The new policy also removes circulation of a camera.  M/S/P (Johnston/Cole) to accept the new lending limit policy.
