Present: Sylvia Wallace, Chairman, Dana Sansom, Treasurer, Roza Benoit, Director, Mary Schelble, Secretary

Acceptance of Minutes: Moved and seconded (Dana/Sylvia) to accept as corrected the minutes for the May 11, 2010 meeting.

Old Business:
• Lawyer review of the Personnel Policy awaits the NHLTA’s announcement of a new lawyer to replace the current one.
• Window work with Andy Roeper- the town will pay Allied Windows for the storm windows upon presentation of an invoice and then pay Mr. Roeper for installation of the windows.
• Sanderson Fund grant: Dana and Roza will complete a grant request to the Fund and submit it even though it is not near the official time for submitting grants. Cara of the Town Hall said that was acceptable.
• Dana has taken a soil sample and will submit it within the week.

Director’s and Treasurer’s Reports: Reviewed and accepted as written.

New Business:
• Roza will be moving her office to an alcove near the front door so that she will be more easily available for patrons.
• A thank you note was received from Judith MacLellan, a library employee, thanking the trustees for giving the employees a pay raise. The trustees were very touched by her note.
• The facility walk-around done by the trustees once a year will be done at the August 12th meeting.
• Through the month of June, registrations for the Children’s Summer Reading Program will be taken.
• Discussion was held regarding setting up the outside spigot so that the grass could be watered and the decision was made to request quotes from 2-3 plumbers. Roza said she would do that. It had been disconnected many years ago.
• Discussion was held regarding consideration of having some books that are donated or culled on display in a restaurant in town with money box attached to the bookcase for payments in case someone would like to purchase them. Dana had heard of a library that did that and were pleased with the results. Sylvia said she’d see if there was any interest.
• It was moved and seconded (Mary/Dana) to move the Trustee meetings to the second Thursday of the month. There will be no meeting in July due to vacations and other commitments of the trustees and director and so the next meeting will be Thursday, August 12, 2010.

Adjournment: It was moved and seconded to adjourn at 8:10 pm. (Mary, Dana)

Next Meeting: August 12, 2010 6:30 pm.
