the necessity to close the branch for 3-4 months during construction.
The Library staff will need to store books to avoid damage when the
ceiling is removed. Some books can be sent temporarily to Clearwater
East Library. Furniture can be stored in the northern part of the
library building where little work will be done. Mr. Panush suggested
renting a nearby store as a temporary facility for a library. For
safety reasons, the Board agreed that the branch should close for the
entire construction period. Mrs. Mielke suggested possibly providing
a "shuttle" van service once a week from North Greenwood to Hain Library.
Mrs. ~fielke will investigate the store rental possibility.
The Board discussed a December meeting date. It was agreed that
December 20th would he the next meeting.
A proposed meeting room policy was reviewed. Mrs. Mielke stated
this policy would encourage more use than the original meeting room
policy at Main. The Board approved of the proposed policy.
Mrs. Mielke reported that the Library Board's parking rate request
was not approved. Parking rates for the library spaces will be increased
along with the other City parking lots in February.
Mrs. Mielke also reported on Mr. Moran's concern for a speed bump
in the drive south of the Nain' Library building. The City has a policy
against speed bumps on City streets. The drive south of the building
into the parking lot is actually a City street named Sunset. The Board
suggested speed limit or warning signs might be considered for that street.
