SML Board Minutes May 21, 1996, Page 6 Library Board designate Theresa Anderson, Literacy Coordinator, to initiate, negotiate, and sign for grants between the Louisiana Department of Education and the Shreve Memorial Library. Motion passed. Librarian's Report: Jim Pelton advised the Board to gather ideas between now and the next Board meeting of how to proceed with the building project and the amount of involvement. Haller Jackson recommended that the Board meet more often and suggested that regular library business be conducted in quarterly meetings. He recommended that project meetings be held monthly or bi-monthly. Orella Brazile recommended re-activation of the original Planning Committee for review of the plans. Haller Jackson declared that the Board of Control will meet on Monday, June 24 at 12:00 to discuss organizational structure of the building project. Haller Jackson suggested that site selection should be first in order of priority. Glenn O'Bryan suggested that the Board (as a group) should tour the current branches and potential sites for branches. Haller Jackson suggested that extensive photos should be taken of each branch, inside and out, very soon. Also, videos and/or slides of other libraries should be obtained. Local people should be involved with the project, but expert professionals (from anywhere) that are needed may be used. The meeting adjourned. Respectfully submitted by: James R. Pelton, Secretary/Treasurer
