B. CHAIRPERSON'S REPORT:
Commission Chairperson Petz wrote a thank you letter to Friends Used Book Sale organizer
Mary Ann Nunez on behalf of the Commission. Based on the response by Mary Ann Nunez,
Chairperson Petz recommends that the Library sponsor a recognition day or evening for all
volunteers to the Library or the book sale. All Commissioners were in favor of this.
C. DIRECTOR'S REPORT:
Director Madorin discussed recent staff changes at the Library, the possible offer to purchase
a Lladro figurine, the book drop situation, and budgetary items. The Commission
recommended Director Madorin see if the drive directly in front of the Library could be
posted one way. This would alleviate concern about pulling up to the book drop location.
D. OTHER NEW BUSINESS:
The Library Commission discussed the date of the next scheduled Commission Meeting
which is November 20, 2012. Several members would be unavailable that date. It was
decided to move the next meeting to the first week in December, the date being Tuesday,
December 4, 2012 at 7 pm. Director Madorin will cancel the scheduled meeting and
announce a special meeting.
