Board of Library Trustees <br />Minutes of Meeting - June 21, 1999 <br />Present: Ms. Maria Silvag(,i, chair; Mr. Stephen Conner; Ms. Cherrie Dubois; Ms. Donna <br />Indelicato. <br />Ms. Silvaggi called the meeting to order at 7:20 p.m. <br />Minutes: The minutes of May 17 were accepted. <br />Election of officers: Ms. Dubois proposed the following slate: Mrs. Silvaggi, Chair, Mr. <br />Conner, Vice-Chair, Dr. Redford, Secretary. The slate was voted in unanimously. <br />Statistical report: Continuing the trend, May's circulation is lower than last year's. Ms. <br />Dubois would like to see what areas specifically are declining. Perhaps Internet use is <br />impacting nonfiction circulation. <br />Report from the Chairman: 1) At last week's Selectmen's meeting, George Hines made a <br />motion to increase to $20,000 the amount proposed for the Library's materials budget at the <br />June 30 Town Meeting. The Selectmen voted in favor. Ms. Dubois suggested that the <br />Foundation include in its bylaws the criterion that no funds will be released in any year that <br />the municipal budget does not meet the BLC's materials expenditure requirement. <br />2) Robert Stewart, former president of MassBank, died on April 6. Donations in his memory <br />have been directed to the Foundation. <br />There will be no meeting in July; a meeting will be held on Tuesday, August 10, if there is <br />business. <br />The meeting adjourned at 8:20 p.m. <br />Diane J. Young <br />Assistant Director <br />
