Director’s Report /Trustees’ Meeting Report
In the absence of the Director, Leigh Ann Porsch reported that the Trustees are still looking into options for blocking the wind from the front doorway. While the Trustees are in favor of an LED sign, the village requires that the sign be surrounded by brick and stone. This puts an LED sign out of the Library’s price range.
Secretary’s Report
The September minutes were reviewed. Connie moved the minutes be accepted, Pat seconded, the motion carried.
Treasurer’s Report
Diane Benson gave the treasurer’s report which showed a balance as of October 14 of $21,752.37. Income was from Corner Book sales, Fall Fest, and Culver’s. Expenses included a donation to the Library for reading programs. Connie moved the report be accepted, Pat seconded, the motion carried.
Book Sales
Reta reported that there was a great volunteer turnout for Fall Fest that made everything easier. She thanked all the volunteers and Genevieve who arranged for High School boys to help take down on Sunday night. There was a great turnout this year, though Sunday night from 5-7p.m. was slow. She thought the large book sale sign next to the restroom sign helped sales.
The next Book Sale is November 7 & 8. Volunteers are needed.
