Library Trustee Meeting Minutes (continued)
It was decided that the Book Club will not meet during the summer months, but will resume sometime in September. Regular host, Sharon Mayer, encourages members to read the next selection, Twenty Chickens For A Saddle by Robyn Scott, at their leisure and be prepared to discuss it in the fall.
Angelique Lee offered to take on the task of finding a suitable sofa for readers with funds from the Turrell Grant as previously decided.
July 12th was chosen as the start date for this summer’s Saturday morning Story Hour. The library will be open from 9 to 11 for story hour and a related arts & crafts project suitable for preschool aged children. A variety of library enthusiasts are encouraged to assume responsibility for hosting at least one of these sessions.
It was mentioned that the Roger Clark Memorial Library was largely featured in a documentary film about the Cliff Grant Children’s Literacy Foundation.
A note was written to thank Mr. Skrobak for his retirement planning presentation on May 28th.
The meeting was adjourned by 8:30 pm
