The meeting was called to order by Stacie at 6:13 pm, on July 18th. In attendance were DG Fletcher, Ken Kotce, Stacie Turpin, Taylor Powelson, John Serfustini and Diana Grant. The first order of business was a training session, required for recertification, by Heidi Fendrick, our state library representative. The responsibility of a board member is to be a leader, a steward and an advocate for the library. They are a representative of the library and a community supporter. She further discussed rules and directives required by the state library.
Book and a Movie – We will be showing the movie BFG (Big Friendly Giant) on Friday, August 23rd in the Helper Auditorium. Diana will order the books, which we will give to each family planning on attending the movie. We will do the usual snacks and bottled water.
For Saturday Vibes – there will be a work meeting on Wednesday, August 7th at 11:00 am, at Happiness Within. We plan on attending Saturday Vibes on Saturday, August 10th, with a table representing the library. We will have a coloring contest and hand out Helper Library pens and pencils. We can also sign up new library card members. Stacie is going to check into the possibility of free pool passes and movie passes to give away.
Our next board meeting will be Thursday, September 26th at 6:00 pm. This will be a very important meeting for planning our after school Program. We will be asking board members to RSVP for this meeting.
We talked about doing a pamphlet for the library to give to realtors for new members of the community.
Diana will get in touch with Celyn about the poster she said she would do for the library with our motto, open a book – open an adventure.
