DRAFT Minutes from May 1, 2013
The Board Meeting for the Trustees of Brown Memorial Library was called to order at 6:02 p.m.
Attendance: Mary-Chris Duncan, Nola Jordan, Erica Gross, Connie Scheffy, Bea Howe, Meg Fearnley
1. In Patty’s absence, Connie chaired the meeting. Erica was seated as a voting member. Bob Toppi was also present at the meeting though could not be seated as the Board of Selectmen has not yet acted on our request to have him named an alternate trustee.
2. The secretary’s report was accepted as presented.
3. A motion was made and passed to accept donations to Brown Memorial Library in April in the amount of $817.21. $500.00 of that amount was a donation from Rod Jones’ sister, Margaret Ames, and $167.50 from the on-going book sale. The Treasurer’s Report was accepted as presented.
4. April circulation figures were good, with a noticeable uptick in total circulation and downloaded audio books. Bea added that while the library receives a total of 30 periodicals, only 10 of those subscriptions are paid for out of library funds. The others are donations from generous patrons.
5. Under Old Business, the Trustees voted to accept the donation of Rod Jones’ grandfather clock. It has been reconditioned and is a lovely addition to the library’s furnishings. At some point we will have a plaque engraved to explain the clock’s provenance.
6. Bea reported that Mike Merritt has installed new lights in the two restrooms and run power to the front lawn so folks can use laptops outside without depleting their batteries. The cost came in lower than his quote: $375 versus $500. The Trustees then voted to authorize the purchase and installation of three ceiling fans for the main room of the library. The cost will be $199.00 per fixture plus wiring and labor. The fans should keep the library more comfortable in the summer and may also help reduce oil consumption in the winter.
7. The Trustees also approved Bea’s request that we ask Mike to run power to a box underneath the front desk. At some point in the future we may want to have a computer or laptop on that desk and there’s currently no way to run a cord to the desk without it being a potential hazard. She will ask him to do the work when he comes soon to replace the ballast in a fluorescent light.
8. Under New Business, Meg announced that the New Hampshire Astronomical Society will run a Sky Watch Program here on Friday night, May 10, beginning at 8:30. After a 30 minute program inside, attendees will go outside to explore the heavens with our new telescope. If it is cloudy that night, the alternate date is Thursday, May 16.
9. The Memorial Day Weekend book and plant sale will take place on Saturday, May 25. Bea is all set for volunteers, but Meg mentioned that extra plant donations would be most welcome.
10. The New Hampshire Library Trustees’ Association will hold its next meeting at the Holiday Inn in Concord on May 13 from 1:00 to 4:00.
The next meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 5, at 6:00 p.m.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 6:45 p.m.

Minutes from April 3, 2013
The Board Meeting for the Trustees of Brown Memorial Library was called to order at 6:05 p.m.
Attendance: Mary-Chris Duncan, Garry Kalajian, Bea Howe, Connie Scheffy, Nola Jordan, Meg Fearnley
1. In Patty’s absence, Garry chaired the meeting. Garry and Nola were both re-elected last month. The Board extended its appreciation to outgoing Trustee Lorraine Macleod for all she did during her term of service. Bob Toppi was also present at the meeting and expressed interest in becoming an Alternate Trustee. Bea will write a letter to the Board of Selectmen asking them to appoint him to that position.
2. Officers were elected – really re-elected — for the new term. Patty Furness will again serve as Chairperson, Bea Howe as Treasurer, and Nola Jordan as Secretary.
3. The secretary’s report was accepted as presented.
4. A motion was made and passed to accept donations to Brown Memorial Library in March in the amount of $208.00. Expenses for the first quarter of 2013 are pretty much where we expect them to be. The Treasurer’s Report was accepted as presented.
5. March circulation figures were good, stronger in every area than last year at this time. We had 123 people here for the Easter egg hunt on March 30 – 52 children plus their parents. We are grateful to the Friends of Brown Memorial Library for sponsoring the event.
6. Under Old Business, Bea presented the results of her research into alternate suppliers of electric power. This was not an easy task as some of the companies were reluctant to commit themselves to a rate or simply to give her the courtesy of a return phone call. The Trustees agreed that at the moment it makes the most sense to go with North American Power. Their customer service was good, and they have the lowest rate even though we can only get a 6-month contract with them. We should save approximately $120 during the life of the contract. If their rate spikes at the end of that time, we can re-evaluate the situation then.
7. Under New Business, Bea reported that Mike Merritt had come in to discuss some possible electrical work. First was the matter of running power out to the front yard so patrons can use laptops outside. He suggested running a buried cable to a post near the bench. Meg pointed out that before he digs we should check the exact location of the septic. Bea also asked Mike about ceiling fans and he believes putting them in would help keep the library cooler in summer. He thinks we would need three. Ideally they would be reversible so as to push warm air down during the heating season. The final concern is the poor lighting in the two restrooms. The current fixtures, which are very high up, only take 40 watt bulbs. Mike said that we could either replace those fixtures with ones that take higher wattage bulbs or that we could instead put new fixtures over each mirror. He will work up an estimate for us.
8. Bea also mentioned that we will be audited by the New Hampshire Department of Unemployment on Tuesday morning.
The next meeting will be held on Wednesday, May 1, at 6:00 p.m.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:05 p.m.

Minutes from March 6, 2013
The Board Meeting for the Trustees of Brown Memorial Library was called to order at 6:05 p.m.
Attendance: Mary-Chris Duncan, Garry Kalajian, Erica Gross, Lorraine Macleod, Bea Howe, Connie Scheffy, Nola Jordan, Meg Fearnley
1. In the absence of Rod and Patty, both alternates were seated as voting members. Garry chaired the meeting. Bob Toppi also attended to learn what we do and see if he might be interested in serving as an alternate trustee at some point.
2. The secretary’s report was accepted as presented.
3. A motion was made and passed to accept donations to Brown Memorial Library in February in the amount of $126.00. $50.00 was from our on-going book sale and $60.00 was a donation from the Friends to cover the cost of approximately 300 pens imprinted with the library’s name and info. Bea also explained that we have received an advance of $15,000.00 on our appropriation from the town. The Treasurer’s Report was accepted as presented.
4. February circulation statistics kept pace with or even exceeded January’s in spite of it being a shorter month that included two snow days. We were down some from last year, however. Especially striking is the fact that the number of e-books downloaded from the state system tripled over last month.
5. Under Old Business, the Trustees discussed and revised the draft of the Telescope Borrowing Agreement that Patty had prepared and e-mailed to everyone prior to the meeting. A motion was made and passed to approve the agreement as amended.
6. Bea reported on her research into finding an alternate supplier of electric power. Our most recent electric bill was $30.00 higher than normal. She has looked into Fairpoint Energy (who is taking over from the defunct PNE), Constellation Energy, North American Power, and Nextera. Getting all the necessary information has not proved easy and she is still waiting to hear back from Nextera. Though there doesn’t appear to be any penalty for early withdrawal from a contract, the Trustees agreed with Bea’s recommendation that we defer making a decision for at least one more month.
7. Under New Business, Meg explained that the friend who has been accompanying her to library movie nights ever since the beginning is no longer able to attend and that she is not comfortable being there alone. The Trustees agree completely. Several options were discussed. For the immediate future, Meg will put together a list of possible volunteers and contact them by e-mail to see if she can get coverage for upcoming movie nights.
The next meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 3, at 6:00 p.m.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:10 p.m.

Minutes from February 6, 2013
The Board Meeting for the Trustees of Brown Memorial Library was called to order at 6:00 p.m.
Attendance: Mary-Chris Duncan, Nola Jordan, Patty Furness, Garry Kalajian, Erica Gross, Lorraine Macleod, Bea Howe, Meg Fearnley
1. In the absence of Rod and Connie, both alternates were seated as voting members.
2. The secretary’s report was accepted as presented.
3. A motion was made and passed to accept donations to Brown Memorial Library in January in the amount of $342.99. $105.00 was from our on-going book sale. Even a few dealers have been coming. Bea noted that while the line item for Maintenance is high for the month, more than $300 of that amount will be recouped when FVB Landscaping sends us a check. Fritz Von Beren donates the bed work he does for us, but prefers to run it through his books that way. The Treasurer’s Report was accepted as presented.
4. January circulation statistics are down in several categories, but it was a cold month perhaps keeping more people at home. We used to have lots of library usage from families who were home-schooling their children, but at the moment Meg is not aware of any families who are doing that. She also mentioned that more and more patrons are coming to use the computers, copier, fax, and even the phone. These are very important services we can provide to residents who cannot afford computers or internet connections at home.
5. Under New Business, Patty demonstrated the telescope provided to us by the New Hampshire Astronomical Society at a subsidized price. She has tried it out herself and is very pleased with how light and user-friendly it is. The Society also gave us a simplified user’s manual, a small guide to the constellations and some software for looking up star charts. They will also do a free Sky Watcher’s Program when we are ready. The Trustees agreed that this is a wonderful addition to the library’s services, but we will need to have some kind of form for patrons to sign when they take it out. Patty has examples of forms other libraries are using and she will prepare a draft for the next meeting.
6. At Bea’s request, FVB Landscaping has presented a contract to do our mowing and spring and fall cleanups. He is asking $1,350.00 and guarantees that he will not go over that amount. This is somewhat less than we have spent in the past. It also means that he can do whatever he wants to keep the property looking good and we don’t have to be concerned about the cost of any particular task. The Trustees agreed that this is a good way to go.
7. Bea explained that due to the projected 33 per cent increase in PSNH rates in the immediate future, she has been in contact with Nextera Energy to get a quote. They have not gotten back to her yet, but this is the fuel provider the town has decided to go with and there may be some advantage to using them as well. Fuel delivery and billing will still come from PSNH. The Trustees agreed that it would be a good idea to look into other providers as well. Bea will do that and report back at the next meeting.
8. Meg made sure all Trustees were aware of HB436. This bill, which is now in committee, would require all towns to ask voters if they want to put oversight of library finances in the hands of the selectmen. This would be a major change from how it has been done historically and has the potential to cause serious problems. Hopefully, there will be enough opposition to the bill to prevent it from leaving committee.
9. Garry and Nola have signed up to stand for election again this year. Erica mentioned that someone had contacted her about being a library trustee and she told him that while it was too late to get on the ballot this year, he might want to consider becoming an alternate. He will be invited to the next meeting to see what we do.
The next meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 6, at 6:00 p.m.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:02 p.m.

The Board Meeting for the Trustees of Brown Memorial Library was called to order at 6:05 p.m.
Attendance: Mary-Chris Duncan,Garry Kalajian, Patty Furness, Lorraine Macleod, Bea Howe, Connie Scheffy, Rod Jones, Meg Fearnley, Nola Jordan
1. The secretary’s report was accepted as presented.
2. A motion was made and passed to accept donations to Brown Memorial Library in December in the amount of $870.20. Bea reported that we finished the year in good shape financially. We exceeded our budget by slightly less than $6,000, but fortunately we were able to cover the additional expense from donations and special funds. The town budget committee will be voting on our request for 2013 this evening. The Treasurer’s Report was accepted as presented.
3. Our end of the year circulation statistics showed increases in adult materials loaned, program attendees, and downloaded e-books as well as the overall number of patrons. Meg credits Laurie Buchar for creating programs that have attracted many children and parents. She also mentioned that more and more patrons are coming to the library to use our computers and wifi connection.
4. Under Old Business, the Trustees expressed their gratitude to Steve Patten for trimming the tree branches that were a concern at the back of the building. We are glad to have that taken care of.
5. Under New Business, we discussed Garry’s question as to whether or not there might be a way to allow patrons who want to use the wifi when the library is closed some access to the building. People can and do access our wifi from the parking lot, or, in good weather, from the picnic table in the front yard. But we agreed that doing so was really impractical from several standpoints. Bea will ask Mike to look into whether we could provide power outside in the summer so that people could hook up their laptops to an outlet rather than running on batteries as they have to now.
The next meeting will be Wednesday, February 6, at 6:00 p.m.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:30 p.m.

Minutes from December 5, 2012
The Board Meeting for the Trustees of Brown Memorial Library was called to order at 6:00 p.m.
Attendance: Patty Furness, Garry Kalajian, Erica Gross, Lorraine Macleod, Bea Howe, Connie Scheffy, Nola Jordan, Meg Fearnley
1. In the absence of Mary-Chris and Rod, Garry and Erica were seating as voting members.
2. The secretary’s report was accepted as presented.
3. A motion was made and passed to accept donations to Brown Memorial Library in November in the amount of $103.00. $83.00 of that amount came from our on-going book sale. Meg (and Bea) reported that they are very happy with the new computer, which is much faster and more efficient than our old one. The Treasurer’s Report was accepted as presented.
4. Meg reported that our circulation numbers were down somewhat during November in almost all categories. Hopefully, this is not a trend.
5. Under Old Business, Lorraine reported that she had spoken to Sam McCreighton, the roofer who worked on her house. He has examined our roof and while he believes parts of the back section need to be patched, he doesn’t think it has to be done immediately. We can probably wait 2 to 3 years, and he thinks the entire roof has about another 7 years of life left in it. The Trustees agreed to also ask Erica’s husband to look at the roof and give us his opinion.
6. Patty reported that she had been in touch with the New Hampshire Astronomical Society about their program to subsidize telescopes for libraries interested in having one to lend out to patrons. There is a one-time fee of $250.00 and we would need to designate one person to take a training course and serve as a kind of caretaker for the telescope. Patty expressed her willingness to take on that role. She will contact the Warner Library to see what their experience with the telescope has been. The Trustees authorized spending the $250 to participate in the program.
7. Also under Old Business, the Trustees rejected an offer from the state library to participate in the KOHA program to digitize our collection. The cost (start-up fee of $4,000.00, $2,500.00 yearly fee, and 8 cent per item charge) is prohibitive and we feel our card catalog works well and fits our library.
8. Under New Business, the Trustees re-approved our Investment Policy without making any changes.
9. Santa will visit the library on Saturday, December 8, about 4:00 p.m. His visit will be followed by the lighting of the Christmas tree. Many thanks are due Bea for her hard work . . and frustration . . in getting the lights on this year. We are also grateful to the Friends of Brown Memorial Library for donating the new LED lights.
10. Bea reported that the Local Government Council has ruled salary increases may begin January 1. The Trustees voted to begin the increases for our employees on that date. If there is a problem with the budget, we can take the funds from the book budget.
11. Meg mentioned that she has hired Stephen Wescott to do our snow shoveling. He will be paid $40 per storm.
The next meeting will be Wednesday, January 2, at 6:00 p.m.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:00 p.m.

1. The secretary’s report was accepted as presented.
2. A motion was made and passed to accept donations to Brown Memorial Library in October in the amount of $546.95. $282.00 of that amount was the proceeds from the Columbus Day weekend book sale. Another $200.00 was a generous contribution from the Masons after the fund-raising dinner. Bea also reported that the Board of Selectmen approved our budget and that it now goes to the Budget Committee for their recommendation. A new computer has been purchased for the librarian’s office and will be installed soon. The Treasurer’s Report was accepted as presented.
3. Meg reported that 420 people, children and adults, participated in trick or treating this year. Each child was able to choose a book as well as candy. Bea’s photos are available on the library’s Facebook page. Meg also noted that the number of e-book downloads continues to grow.
4. Under Old Business, it was agreed that Steve Patten can trim the branches that are overhanging the roof. He believes that should solve our problem and that we do not need to remove any trees at this point.
5. We also have a number of curling shingles both on the side and on the back of the roof. Bruss Construction said that Colonial Roofing installed the roof in 1999. They used IKO shingles and we have discovered that there is in fact a class action lawsuit against them for these shingles. Filing a warranty claim, though, would be quite involved. James Stratton has looked at the roof and recommends replacing it. Before we make any decision Lorraine will ask the roofer who worked on her house to give us his assessment of the situation.
6. Under New Business, Lorraine announced that she would not be running for a second term this March. Garry will consider running for her seat. Nola’s term is also expiring and she is willing to run again.
7. Garry raised a question about the noise level in the library as some people may prefer to work in a quieter environment. Unfortunately, we don’t have room to set aside one area as a quiet zone, and the Trustees agree with Meg that we want the library to be a welcoming place where patrons feel comfortable greeting their neighbors.
The next meeting will be Wednesday, December 5, at 6:00 p.m.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:55 p.m.

1. The secretary’s report was accepted as presented.
2. A motion was made and passed to accept donations to Brown Memorial Library in September in the amount of $495.22. $330.00 of that amount was the proceeds from the Labor Day book sale. Otherwise, things are going along about as expected. The Treasurer’s Report was accepted as presented.
3. Circulation figures for last month show a big uptick in the number of e-books downloaded and a substantial drop in the number of children’s materials circulated. Meg explained that part of that decrease is due to the fact that the Kearsarge Area Preschool children have not been coming to the library for the past couple weeks because the sidewalks are unsafe – or non-existent. They normally take out a selection of books. Meg noted that the library has received the generous gift of a Kindle that patrons will be able to borrow.
4. A decision was made to tackle New Business before Old. Some of the shingles on the roof are curling. This may or may not be a big problem, but it needs checking out. Meg and Bea will go through the construction records to find out who installed the roof. If possible, we will ask them to make an inspection. If not, we will contact someone else. In a related issue, Erica has contacted Steve Patten who has agreed to look at the trees along the rear property line and make a recommendation as to how to proceed.
5. The Columbus Day weekend book sale will take place on October 6.
6. Under Old Business, the Trustees approved the proposed 2013 budget. The only line item to show an increase is personnel, resulting in an overall increase of 2 per cent. Our request now goes to the town budget committee.
7. After making a few final changes to the most recent draft, the Trustees voted to approve the revised Library Policies. Copies of the policies will be available upon request.
8. The Trustees also approved the Position Description and Terms of Employment for the Librarian. We still need position descriptions for assistant librarians, library assistant, and page. Connie will check the Trustees’ Association web site and Meg will look at neighboring libraries to see what they have done.
9. Bea reported that we need to purchase not only a new computer but also a new laser printer for Meg’s office. The Trustees concurred.
The next meeting will be Wednesday, November 7, at 6:00 p.m.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:55 p.m.

Attendance: Mary Chris Duncan, Nola Jordan, Patty Furness, Lorraine Macleod, Erica Gross, Connie Scheffy, Bea Howe, Meg Fearnley, Rod Jones
1. The secretary’s report was accepted as presented.
2. A motion was made and passed to accept donations to Brown Memorial Library in August in the amount of $1,150.00. $1,000.00 of that amount was a donation specifically for children’s books that was given in memory of the donor’s mother-in-law, who was an avid reader and school teacher. The Labor Day book sale netted $330.00. Otherwise, our finances are about as expected for this time of year. The Treasurer’s Report was accepted as presented.
3. Circulation figures for last month show a few decreases, particularly in the area of children’s material, but Meg hopes that will change once school is in full swing. The Librarian’s Report was accepted as presented.
4. Under Old Business, the Trustees finalized the revision of our Policy for Public Internet Access. Copies will be made available to patrons immediately.
5. The Trustees examined and revised Garry’s draft of the personnel section of the library policies. We agreed that most of the material really belongs in job descriptions for the various employees and that the personnel item should simply refer people to the job descriptions. Nola will type and distribute a draft of the entire policies document as well as a draft of the Librarian’s job description before the next meeting. We still need to review job descriptions for other library staff.
6. Nola mentioned that the slide show presentation on India will take place on Wednesday, October 24, at 7:00 pm.
7. Under New Business, the Board agreed with Bea’s plan to make no increases in the 2013 budget except, we hope, for a small increase in the salary line item. So far this year we have managed to stay within budget and on the few occasions when something unexpected has come up, we have been able to cover it from special funds. Bea expects to present the budget at the October meeting. Patty gave voice to all the Trustees’ awe at how efficiently Bea handles the complexities of the treasurer’s job and how easy she makes it look.
8. Meg reported that she has hired a new page, Shelby Hearne.
9. The Trustees voted to ask the Selectmen to appoint Erica Gross as an alternate trustee.
The next meeting will be Wednesday, October 3, at 6:00 p.m.

The Board Meeting for the Trustees of Brown Memorial Library was called to order at 6:05 p.m.
Attendance: Mary Chris Duncan, Nola Jordan, Patty Furness, Garry Kalajian, Bea Howe, Connie Scheffy, Rod Jones, Meg Fearnley
1. The secretary’s report was accepted as presented.
2. Garry, our alternate trustee, was seated as a voting member in Lorraine’s absence.
3. A motion was made and passed to accept donations to Brown Memorial Library in July in the amount of $1,468.38. Most of that amount represents proceeds from the July 4th book sale. All is going well and we are just where we expect to be financially at this time of year. Bea will meet with the auditors tomorrow morning. The Treasurer’s Report was accepted as presented.
4. Circulation figures for last month show some strong upticks, especially for adult materials loaned and total circulation. Total program attendees was also up. The summer reading program is going very well, with thanks especially to Laurie Buchar. In fact, tonight’s meeting was suspended for a short time so that the trustees could enjoy the visit from a barred owl (and his rescuer and best friend, Maria Colby) that was part of the children’s program. The Librarian’s Report was accepted as presented.
5. Under Old Business, the Trustees congratulated Garry on the fine job he did installing the new hardware he had made on the front door. It looks fabulous! Thanks also to Brooks McCandlish for doing the repairs.
6. Under New Business, volunteers were solicited to help bus tables as well as prepare the donated desserts for serving at the fund-raising dinner the Masons are providing on August 11, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. There is a sign-up sheet for desserts at the checkout desk.
7. Our next book sale will be September 1, the Saturday of Labor Day weekend. Patty and Nola will work the first shift. Bea may be away, but she will see that there is coverage for the second shift.
8. Trustees voted to approve accepting the pre-buy contract from Ayer and Goss at $3.399/gal. Bea will divide our budgeted fuel amount of $3,500.00 by the price per gallon and contract for that number of gallons. (Approximately 1030 gallons.)
9. Patty agreed to follow up on an e-mail we received from Jan Riley, one of the Friends of the Library, who heard that the Shepherd-McAuliffe Discovery Center has received a grant to make telescopes available to libraries for loan to interested patrons. Some kind of training may be required.
10. The Trustees postponed their review of library policies until the September meeting. Only three weeks had elapsed since the last meeting and it wasn’t possible to get the revisions prepared and ready for distribution. Instead, they spent time discussing and revising our Policy for Public Internet Access. The new draft will be distributed before the next meeting at which time it is hoped that final changes can be made and a vote taken.
11. A friend of Nola’s has offered to give a slide show and presentation at the library about a recent trip to India. The Board gave her the go-ahead to accept the offer and figure out a date that will work for him and for the library.
12. The Trustees agreed that it might make sense to look into the possibility of getting ceiling fans for the library. Bea will check with the electrician to get his input.

The next meeting will be Wednesday, September 5, at 6:00 p.m.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:55 p.m.
