Librarian’s Report:
Denton mentioned that the laptop in the office is still using Windows XP and that is was running very slowly. She also mentioned that Keokuk Technologies informed her that there is just enough memory on the laptop in the office to put Windows 8.1, however, if they do that, it will run even more slowly. A discussion was had and decided that since the Friends of the Library were going to purchase computers for the children’s department, maybe they would consider purchasing a new computer for the office. She was asked to speak to the Friends at their next meeting and report back.
Denton talked about the Friends wanting to buy computers for the children’s department, but they wanted to have a policy in place first. A discussion was had about the policy for the children’s computers. It was decided that Phillips and Della-Vedova would speak to different libraries and find out what their policies were and bring that information to the next meeting.
Building and Grounds:
The corner of the building needs to be repaired and Reinhardt said that he and another person would be working on it soon. Reinhardt will get back to the group next meeting.
OLD BUSINESS: None
NEW BUSINESS: None
Hansen moved and Phillips seconded to adjourn. Motion carried.
