I’ve highlighted some of what was discussed at the August board meeting below.
*New Chairs
The board approved purchase of a few new chairs. Three of the five new chairs are Herman Miller Swoop chairs of which we own several. The other two are higher-backed chairs that will be placed in the open section of Adult non-fiction by the cookbooks.
*Restroom Cleaning
CINTAS will discontinue restroom cleaning at the end of the month. We hired CINTAS to “deep clean” the restrooms twice each month. Their performance has been sub-par.
*Foundation
Art In the Barn—an annual JPL Foundation fundraiser featuring an exhibition of works by local artists with appetizers, wine, craft beer, and live music by Molly Brand—will be held Friday, September 21st, 5:30-8:30 at the Simpson Barn. Tickets are available at https://foundation.johnstonlibrary.com/?page=art-in-the-barn.
*Annual Report
The city ordinance requires the board to present an annual report to the council following each fiscal year. The report along with a brief slideshow will be presented at theSeptember 17th council meeting. Read the report
