The Board of Trustees for the Marlow Town Library met on February 6, 2006, at 7 PM. 

Present at the Library were: Jeanne Kennedy, Chair; Donna Chase, Treasurer; Jan Lane, Secretary; Jeannie Merwin, Clerk of the Works, and Librarian Pat Strickland. Absent from the meeting was Johanna Kent, Art Director.

Secretary’s Report

There were no official minutes taken of the previous meeting (09 Jan 06) as Secretary Jan Lane was absent from the meeting.

Treasurer’s Report

Treasurer Donna Chase reported that the balance in the Business (Operating) Fund is: $3,713.73 as of January 31, 2006.

Old Business:

  1. The Historical Society will be hosting the Town Lunch (during Town Meeting) this year as the Library Trustees voted not to host it this year.

 New Business:

  1. Trustees decided not to have a formal Summer Reading Program this year. Reasons for this include diminishing attendance by children during the summer, as well as the increasing difficultly of getting adults involved to be in charge of the various programs.

  2. Trustees decided to take a break from hosting The Little Red Wagon this year as the Town needs, for this service, are changing.

  3. Trustees worked on the budget.

  4. Jeannie Merwin regretfully announced that she will not be seeking re-election to her Trustee position. Jeannie’s dedication, loyalty, and untiring work for library will be missed by the Board of Trustees. Jeannie has been a passionate advocate for the Marlow Town Library for many years.

  5. Jeanne Kennedy moved, and Jan Lane seconded the motion to accept gifts to the Library given this day. The gifts included Curious George and Stuart Little artwork donated by Jeannie Merwin. The motion passed unanimously.

Meeting Adjourned

9:10 PM

Next Meeting

Monday, March 6, 7 PM at the Library.

Respectfully submitted,
Jan Lane, Secretary
