Minutes:

1. Approval of agenda

MAC1, WLR2, unanimous

2. Secretary's report (Sept)

WLR1, MAC2, despite long lines at the polling place and breakdowns in the machines and massive fraud in the voter registration drives and a last minute smear ad blitz by the nay sayers, it passed unanimously

3. Citizens Speak

none present

MaryAnn's neighbor likes Saturday hours, likes the new materials, and likes the staff.

4. Budget Report

$3000 for the new printers which was to come from the grant didn't get paid, so we're spending some of the library's savings.

5. Acting Director's Report
• Re-certification path update

The legislature might get to the exemption in January when they reconvene in which case there's a slight chance we'd be re-certified at the Commissioner's January meeting. Probably not.

• There's going to be some Emergency Management training
6. Assistant to the Director's Report

Weeding Large Print & Non-fiction.

7. Old business
8. New Business

Need ballasts to fix the light fixtures.

Getting more shelving for the booksale backroom

9. Fundraising
10. Next Meeting Nov 4 (Election Day)

Motion to adjourn (7:50), MAC1, WLR2, passed unanimously
