The Unadilla Library Board met at 4:00 pm on April 27,
2010. Members present were Peggy Leefers, Jean Lucas,
Lois Ebert, Shirley Stubbendick, Sandi Kimbell, and
Alberta Block.
Minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved.
The treasurer's report showed a balance on hand of
$1112.52. Shirley reported that she is busy sorting,
and organizing books. Help will be needed when the time
comes to move shelves and books to Syracuse. It was noted
that 25 of the shelves belong to the library and will stay
in Unadilla. The featured authors for May will be Jan
Karon and Mary Higgins Clark. They will be noted in the
Unadilla News Section of the Syracuse paper. Peggy
mentioned that the library has a number of very nice
quilt books available. A sign was discussed which would
be placed in front of the building, making it easy for
passersby to tell when the Library is open. A motion was
made by Alberta and seconded by Jean to purchase such
a sign when the details are worked out allowing the library
to continue. The sign will cost approximately $110. Motion
carried. Scholarship applications were discussed. A motion
was made by Sandi and 2nd by Lois that Jordan Lechner
and Emily Moss be awarded scholarships in the amount of
$200. each. The Sundowners Club has invited the library
board for an outing on Tuesday, June 15. Anyone who wished
to go should call Janet Lamb Twohig at 828-4335 by the
day before, if you would like to go. Attendees will meet at
10 am downtown and travel to Louisville to Art Chicks,
Coop DeVille, the soda fountain, and other fun stores.
Lunch will either be at Cedar Creek (and take in the quilt
show), or Good Times Bar & Grill in Louisville.
Peggy indicated she will be working library hours in May
but will contact members regarding the June Tuesdays.
Meeting adjourned at 5 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Alberta Block, Secretary
