Marleen presented the Treasurer’s report. Kip has received some checks to deposit and will give those to Marleen.

 

Kip reported that he was not able to provide a Librarian’s report this month because he is not able to access the shared drive on the town server.

 

Carolyn gave a brief summary of our budget meeting with the Selectboard on January 6, 2010. Kip and Carolyn attended the meeting and answered questions asked by the Selectboard related to our library budget.

 

Kip provided an update on the Public Services Assistant Position. Twenty-seven applications were received. Kip will start reviewing them on January 13^th. There is no deadline for applying. It is open until it is filled. Kip will have the staff review the applications, too. Interviews will be scheduled for the week of the 18^th.

According to the annual calendar, January is the month when the library Director does a self-evaluation. Kip is waiting to receive the form and self-evaluation reminder from Paul. At that time, he will complete his self-evaluation.

 

The board will begin recruiting for two new Trustee positions. LeeAnn and Lisa’s positions need to be filled. Bob suggested that each member of the current board advertise among our own colleagues. The Trustee positions start in March, after town meeting. We will interview in February. The positions are three years each.

 

Kip reminded the Board that Katie Bosley, the Children’s Librarian, is invited to the February meeting.
