October 12 , 2011 meeting minutes

Those present: Bill, Laurel, Pam, Sara, Jan

Discussion on the presenter application: to insert - Have you done this program at another library, and if so, who is the contact person? Also, highlight and/or bold print the date the contract needs to be returned. We need a pending file for contracts that have not been confirmed.

Bill will add Sara Fenton to the blog and he shared that everything is in place for the remaining 2011 programs, including knitting and American sign language classes. Also Ann Richard's Stress/Massage class, Raising Backyard Chickens on the 17th, Ins & Outs of Nook on the 18th, and Bee Keeping on the 26th. The Indy College Funding is good to go and will be marketed to high school sophomores and juniors.

Bill is checking with Beth Dickey regarding a Zambia program in late December. There was discussion for a very basic technology class which is a possibility if we can utilize a mobile computer lab. Presenterwould need to speak in simple, basic language so attendees would not be intimidated.

Bill announced that an adult service person would be available to meet and greet attendees until Sara's replacement is found. Laurel said that if necessary, a manager could be present.

A suggestion was made to request funds from the Library Guild for a possible Iditarod program.

Laurel suggestedwe not pass out surveys at every program. Perhaps we could put them on Survey Monkey.

We were encouraged that if we bring program ideas to the meetings that we need to also suggest a potential person who can present the program.

Next meeting: November 23 @2 pm.
