Becky Granger, an intern at Mashpee TV, contacted Ms. Mahoney prior to Town Meeting <br /> wanting the Library Director to do a video on the importance of the library. Ms. Mahoney didn't <br /> think it was the right time, but mentioned the Trustees were working on something. It was <br /> suggested after Town Meeting they could create some fun videos about the kid's summer <br /> programs and the exciting happenings. <br /> Until some of this stuff is straightened out, Ms. Mahoney doesn't want to do videos promoting <br /> meeting rooms, we already have plenty of takers. Also, with issues arising we want to ensure <br /> we revise policies first. <br /> POLICY UPDATES: PUBLIC COMMENT POLICY, PROGRAM POLICY <br /> Ms. Macdonald would like to move this item to next month's agenda. This was taken up in <br /> March of 2020, our last meeting before COVID. There were things established at that point, but <br /> she would like to gather the information first and report back. <br /> FRIENDS OF LIBRARY LIAISON REPORT <br /> The Treasury report shows they are in good shape with cash on hand. Their donations are <br /> down 11% since last year at this time. They don't seem terribly concerned. One generous <br /> person can take care of that, about $2,000. The DPW is waiting for an invoice and they won't <br /> install the pergola until they have the instruction sheet, but they have all the pieces. The <br /> fundraiser will be a Books in Bloom. These are very artistic floral arrangements used to <br /> describe a book. They also want to host an author event at the library free of charge. <br /> Sally Gunning was suggested. She is big in Brewster but she doesn't like to talk too much in <br /> public. Peter Abrahams was also mentioned, as he is admired by many.. <br /> TRUSTEE ADVOCACY <br /> Ms. Lyons would like to talk more about the video. <br /> APPROVAL OF MINUTES <br /> MOTION: <br /> Ms. Nickerson made a motion to add approval of the minutes for April 11, 2023 as an <br /> agenda item to the meeting. Seconded by Ms. Lyons. All in favor. Ms. Milde abstains. <br /> Ms. Mahoney commented to omit the last sentence under Program Policy about the <br /> assignments and privacy, delete the part about state law. Correction made. <br /> MOTION: <br /> Ms. Nickerson made a motion to approve the meeting minutes from April 11, 2023 as <br /> amended. Seconded by Ms. Lyons. All in favor. <br /> 4 <br />
