We are taking a break from Spice Club during the summer. Pat has indicated she no longer wants to be in charge so we will see if we can find someone else or how to proceed. Thoughts will be gathered on other ideas…Soup of the month; Recipes; Kitchen appliances
Still no word on shelving prices from Cornhusker Industries. Suggestions were given on maybe some options to try to contact. Craig Flaming; Amber Jorgensen; post on social media
Looking into upgrades on our network and computers. Our computers can not be updated to Windows 11 and it was suggested we look into updating them. There are eight computers; Connecting Point says we need to look into replacing computers; The following was suggested:
- To possibly just “wait” it out
- Contact someone into “updating” the hardware that we currently have
- Contact the Library Commission to see what they have for suggestions
Sent a thank you to Trent Brunssen for managing our web site.
We did receive word that the Library Improvement Grant will be funded for the bike rack and lights. CardinalCam will build it. We need some wording suggestions.
Suggestions for wording:
- “Roll up and Read”
- “Ride, Read, Repeat”
- “Peddle for Pages”
- “Spoke-tacular books inside”
- “Ride, Reflect, Read”
- “Wander into Wonder”
- “Adventure Starts Here”–This had the boards attention!
Can the bike rack be made of multiple colors? Peggy will inquire with Craig at the school.
- Review policies/ none
- Ideas and suggestions:
