Anyone want to call the meeting to order.

We'll move along to approval of the minutes.

I've attached them just to make it easier.

But we'll don't see any issues.

Go ahead and vote um to where it's one that says presented.

Yeah, I'll make a note that it really but not the chair.

Moving into item number three A, library highlights.

So just to keep y'all up on what's going on at the library, we've kind of shifted things around.

I don't know if y'all notice when you came in.

Um we have moved the magazines, they are in the back corner.

We have moved them to kind of our quiet reading space with a lot of tables and chairs, just thinking okay, if you're coming in and reading magazines, it's kind of a little bit close to all the reading here.

Perfect.

You're welcome.

Oh, for anyone who doesn't know this is DJ Copper.

She is our what financial title of the financial special.

She does another research.

Yeah, make sure we can run.

Okay, so the magazines have been moved there just to kind of consolidate the space because they were taking up a lot of shelf space in the corner, and then also to be close to the tables and chairs.

Um, and then we put them in these boxes just to make it more visually in particular so you can see what all we have.

And then in the place of magazines, we have relocated all of the DVDs.

So those used to be kind of one of the first things you saw when you walked in.

They're behind our circulation desk, which made some people wonder if they were allowed in those shelves.

Um I also didn't like you know, it's kind of an older media.

So the first thing you see me walk in is something that a lot of people don't even have DVD players anymore.

So moved in the back corner, they seem to be doing really well there.

Um and then we've got audio books with it, so kind of helps all the media is one spot in the library.

And that brings up the front of the library to do something more displayed, but something that we're kind of throwing around a bunch of ideas right now.

And then uh we've added since we've met last a new collection, and you've uh we've got a puzzle collection now, so you can check out puzzles and check.

We do take donations.

We don't, but we've only for special occasions to purchase um puzzles, all of them are donations, so that's not coming out of the budget.

Okay, that's good.

Yes, yeah, we have special bands so that they don't come out or anything.

Um that's not very successful.

They've been moving for a couple months now and the numbers are yeah, very good, like almost a hundred in a month, which I thought was great for brand new collection, but didn't cost us anything.

So I think people especially appreciated them in the winter when we were coming on those weather days.

That's all I've got for highlights.

Um update from the friends.

So this was actually from our January meeting.

I just you know, we recycled it since we didn't get to meet in January, but just wanted to let highlight the friends that they had a great pictures with Santa event.

Um it gets bigger and better every year.

So we had 220 people come through to get their measure with Santa and it's completely free, so it's something nice that kids they don't want to go to a big private mall or especially like get everyone in an outfit and you get them some you know a lot of work.

So sometimes it's nice to have an option just to pull it.

I've done many and many years, but sometimes you'd say the line of range.

Twisted around it's been on real, it's a bit of fun.

We always love seeing the the outfits, yeah.

You know, like I think this one because always there's always like some pretty oh yeah.

I don't have those are my day ones.

And then this Friday is their big uh spring luncheon.

It is the 40th anniversary, so it's a little bit more special for them.

Um they've got Janine Cunell, who's like former FBI, she's got a really varied background, uh super interesting.

She's gonna be giving the big talk, and then there will be a boot fashion show.

So it's kind of a boot theme event, but you're it'll be at the DOS on Friday at 11:30.

Um explained.

Oh, it's all season and uh yeah, they are prepping for that, so I it's hard to get one of them to attend their meeting, but I get it.

It's got a lot going on.

And they let me know that it's been one of their more successful fundraising years for them, which is really nice to hear.

Just never know.

So glad to hear people at the library want to support us.

Okay, moving to item 4A.

So across the board, minus our number of hours that people are using our computer.
