9.   Librarian’s Report.

a. The library is trying hard to reduce the number of fliers or brochures in the library.  We have new signage in regard to the hours of operation with both the library and genealogy departments.  The only way to announce author signing events or happenings are through signs we have been able to produce.  We have eliminated five of them and AARP people have asked us to post their forms on the wall.  Since AARP is trying to help us in helping our community we have agreed to do this for them.  We have not received the tables from the “Friends Group”.  When we do, we will use those tables that are lightweight to help house the taxforms.  I will be checking into a stand that another library uses as a way of housing tax forms for next year.  

b.Quotes are being sought for new sign in the parking lot across the street that is for the library.

c. The library is currently working on the budget for Fiscal year 07-08.

d.      The decision will be made next week on the Assistant Librarian position.

e.   Severance pay is being taken out of the budget.

f.   The author signing event of Carol Johnson was considered successful this month.  The friends had refreshments afterward and really did a superb job in adding a personal touch to it.  On April 21, 2007 Norm Rourke will be our next author to be here from 10 to 12 Noon.        

g.  Coming up on April 15^th – 21^st  will be National Library Week.  Gabe’s Printing will be donating notepads for giveaway at the library.  April 17^th will be National Library Worker’s Day, and in September we will be celebrating the 90^th birthday of the library in Sapulpa.  We will try to keep the library board posted on these upcoming events. 

h.  Enclosed are the five year plans created by Karla.  It will be up for more discussion of growing needs for library in meeting.  For the five year Technology plan we need to discuss possible growing needs and concerns in the world of computers.  Basic classes for adults are in motion as soon as we give staff workshop on it.  (We will talk more in depth about technology plan in meeting.)
