OLD BUSINESS:
Construction update: Dave Detwiler reported that the Library will be able to begin to move
into the new building on April 11. The opening date will depend on the construction progress
made and the issuing of the certificate of occupancy by the City. Dave also presented the current
budget for the expansion and remodel. Jodi Smith reported on the need for repairs of the roof
and soffits of the old building.
LIBRARIAN’S REPORT:
Café: Molly Ireland reported on a meeting with the City Community Development
Department where she found out it is not necessary to file an amended use application or go to
the City to ask permission to provide some light refreshments in the café area of the renovated
library. She will pursue possible vendors.
The Buddy Program has contacted the Library with a request that they be allowed to hang a
large work of art on the wall of the new Library. Although the Library supports the Buddy
Program as a community asset, the Board feels that the new building just does not have the wall
space available to accommodate a piece of art that size.
