Donna Morris complimented the managers on a job well done and encouraged everyone to continue the good work. Donna stated that she has received wonderful comments on the success of the new library and the MAPS Project and appreciated everyone’s hard work. She also shared that the System Reserves process is being review by a Task Force that will make recommendations for improvement. The Library Commission will elect a new slate of officers and assign new committee members in January or February. There will be a meeting in January to discuss options for the library’s pension plan although nothing will be done that is not in the staffs best interest. The Finance and Long Range Planning committees will discuss issues relating to the Capitol Hill Library renovation.
Reorganization - Kay Bauman
Kay discussed the library system reorganization and offered to answer questions. She mentioned that she is glad to be back at managers’ meetings and is trying to catch up on things. The Deputy Directors will meet weekly with Donna. The AdTeam will continue to meet every two weeks. She noted that business is up all over the system, and that administration is aware of load increases, and the search for ways to reduce stress, workloads, etc. continues.
