New Business
- Windows: Renea gave new info with suggestions concerning the south and west windows. After much discussion, Renea was given approval to ask the City Council if the Library Board could do something with the south and west outside walls to prevent water from coming in the windows and to get estimates on the cost.
Librarian’s Report
- Circulation Report: Most areas were way down, which is not surprising this time of year, with the holidays and cold weather recently.
- Programs: The Wednesday and Saturday morning story hours each had 2 children attending. The Book Club had 2 people participating. About 50 children attended the Supper with Santa and did a craft with Cathy. Puzzle parties will be scheduled for Wednesday morning, Jan. 22, and Sunday afternoon, Jan. 26.
