The Board of Trustees for the Marlow Town Library met on September 12, 2005, at 7 PM. Present at the Library were: Jeanne Kennedy, Chair; Donna Chase, Treasurer; Jan Lane, Secretary; Johanna Kent, Art Director, and Librarian Pat Strickland. Absent from the meeting was Jeannie Merwin, Clerk of the Works.
Secretary’s Report: The minutes of the previous meeting (06 June 05) were read and accepted into the record with the following correction: Johanna Kent, Art Director, was absent.
Treasurer’s Report: Treasurer Donna Chase reported that the balance in the Business (Operating) Fund is: 5,471.11 as of 8/31/05.
Old Business:
Jeanne Kennedy reported that the Town donated its old copier to the Library as the service contract on it had expired. Jeanne will call the service rep to find out if the copier’s service contract can be renewed/extended as an augmentation of the Town’s new contract.
Pat Strickland reported that the summer reading program was, once again, a success. Special kudos to Jeanne Kennedy, Donna Chase, Jeannie Merwin, Johanna Kent, Shelli Silk-Huntley, Nancy Tomasko, and CC Bates for their commendable effort.
Jeanne Kennedy agreed to call Tony Previte to find out what, has/will be done about the ailing Library toilet, if anything.
Because the trustees were not all present, the Library Policies will remain as status quo. The policy review may be revisited at another time.
New Business:
Pat Strickland announced that there is a New Hampshire Library Trustees Association workshop on October 12/19.
Jeanne Kennedy reported that the Selectmen have asked that a Town Buildings Safety
Committee (or Joint Loss Management) be comprised of a member from each town Building.
The purpose of the committee is to try to troubleshoot potential code violations.
Jan Lane will represent the Library.
Meeting Adjourned: 8:40 PM
Next Meeting: Monday, November 7, 7 PM at the Library.

submitted,
Jan Lane, Secretary
