Amy called the meeting to order at 7 P.M. with Carol, Romelle, Joan, Janet, Donna, and Jeanne present. Jennifer arrived shortly afterward.
The secretary's report of the May 3rd meeting was filed for audit.
The Treasurer's report showed a balance on hand of $2104.72 as of July 31; however, $750 which had been previously designated has not yet been spent: That includes the $500 to cover extra hours for staff for summer program activities, $100 toward a changing table for the men's room, $100 for frames/framing for the historic picture collection, and $50 toward the newly formed Marinette/Oconto County Literacy Council. Receipts included $23 from items left from the spring rummage sale that Claire Bergstrom displayed at her rummage sale over Memorial weekend, and proceeds from the food sale in front of the library during Memorial Day parade, which amounted to $98.14. There was competition from the Masons organization across the street, so we had more food than necessary, but members bought the remainder. Several people asked for chips; we had sloppy joes, hot dogs/chili dogs, water and soda available. Treasurer's report was filed for audit.
The puppet shows have been a big success with 15-20 children attending. Laura has incorporated some finger plays into the puppet show programs.
The historic pictures have been framed and are now on display.
Attendance has been poor at the adult summer programs, featuring local authors and food preservation. The remaining programs on the evening summer schedule are the Temple Family History, Mill Night, the Osterman Family Bluegrass group, and Falls Photo Night. Randy Peterson will perform on August 11 during the afternoon.
The annual book sale will be held on September 8, 9, 10; Woman's Club will hold a bake sale on September 8th in conjunction with the book sale.
A representative is needed for the County Library Services Board, which meets 6 times a year. The person selected must be approved by the Library Board and by the Oconto County Board.
Donna displayed the two quilts which have been donated for the November 19th raffle, made by Virginia Draeger and Donna Bubolz. There will be an Avon basket (Janet VanDeHei), bicycle (Sara Denis), and afghan (Jeanne Dessart). There is once again a very nice NASCAR jacket. Donations are welcome and you may call Joan at 846-2673 if you would like to make a donation. Donna and Jeanne will compose a letter to businesses requesting donations and Tracey will follow up. Donna has the tickets and she and Janet will sell them at Witts.
Amy and Sue will weed the flower beds and Amy will get mulch.
It was mentioned that the Lioness Club is looking for community service projects, and might be a possible source of help for the booksale.
The next meeting will be Nov. 1. The motion to adjourn was made by Jennifer and seconded by Janet.

Minutes February 1, 2011
The meeting was called to order at 7 p.m. by Amy with Joan, Romelle, Carol, Donna, and Janet present.
The secretary's report was filed. The treasurer's report showed a balance of $3274.73. This report will be filed for audit. Amy requested that in the future the amount that we still have approved to spend will be subtracted at the bottom of the report, so we will know how much money there is to spend. This report has $270 approved for the Summer Reading Program that was not spent yet.
In old business Joan bought her new desk, hutch and chair. Joan changed her mind about purchasing a color printer as AdMax is close by and Joan sends referrals there. Therefore $1700 was not spent which had been previously approved.
Joan has Jerry Apps and Warren Gerds lined up for program ideas. The Genealogical Society will help to pay for Jerry Apps writing seminar.
Friends are asked to send out letters to people they know who are not members of the Friends to ask if they would like to become members. Those present took letters and membership forms. Amy suggested they write a personal note on the bottom of the letter. Carol suggested that we hand out the letters to people attending story hour. Joan will also leave some letters and forms at the front desk. Amy said all Library Board members should be asked to become members
Joan purchased some fixtures from Walden's Bookstore as they are going out of business. This included 12 pieces from $1400 since we did not buy the color printer.
Friends will also purchase 6 to 8 white tables to be used for rummage sales and other events. A $300 motion was made by Carol and Seconded by Romelle. Jeanne will have a rummage sale April 14-16 with set up on April 13. Carol will help set up. Janet will help cashier. Jeanne will probably be asking for other volunteers as the date gets closer. The Women's Club will have a Bake Sale Thursday April 14 during the rummage sale. The tables will be stored in the closet in the meeting room.
The Friends will ask for a permit from the city to have a Brat Fry in front of the Library during the Memorial Day Parade, May 30th. John and Amy will cook. Donna will help. Amy will try to book 2 other dates with Witt's.
Laura's family and friends singing concert at Christmas was very nice. Joan will ask them to sing some bluegrass during the summer for an Old Fashioned Day at the Library. There will be an ice cream social as well. Sue Mogged, Donna, Joan and Amy will help.
Discussion was held on whether or not to continue to purchase Book Pages as it is available on-line. Joan says Patrons like and ask for it. Florence is no longer sharing the cost of $282 per year with us. Joan will try to find another library to help share the cost. Donna made a motion to spend the money if Oconto Falls can find someone to share the cost. Romelle seconded the motion.
Scholarships will again be donated to OFHS students. $200 for a boy, $200 for a girls. Same criteria. Romelle made the motion which was seconded by Carol.
The Fun Fest Book Sale will be Sept. 8, 9, and 10th.
Next meeting dates are May 3, August 2, and November 1.
Respectfully submitted,
Amy Dessart, President
