Library Board of Trustees Update
From the Meeting July 25, 2024
Present: Victor Lieberman, President; Alanda Gregory, Vice President; Andy Bland,
Secretary; and Trustees, Greg Gorton, Christy Monk, and Pam Mullin
• The Board approved library expenditures.
• The Board voted to have a Martin Johnson Heade Painting returned to the library.
It had been in possession of an art dealer since 2007. The recession in 2008 had a
significant impact on the art market and the desire for oil -based still life paintings
by American painters has apparently not yet rebounded.
• The August/September Art @ your Library show features photographer Gary
Fagan, painter Matt Giese, and wood worker Rich Lammer.
• The library has added a new digital service called the Author Talks. Each month
several author discussions are held live, virtually. Details about the service can be
found on the library's website on the Resources page. Recent authors available to
watch now include children's author Kate DiCamillo and New York Times
bestselling author Xochitl Gonzalez and upcoming notable virtual presentations
featuring Garret Graff, Silvia Moreno -Garcia, and Liane Moriarty.
• The Maker Space has a new vinyl printer and cutter. This machine can be used to
make vinyl stickers, transfers for t-shirt design, print on canvas, and more.
• Over 1500 youth and teens registered for this year's summer reading program and
nearly 200 registered for the adult reading program.
• Three library staff have been selected to present programs at the 2024 Iowa
Library Association Conference in Des Moines in October. Becky Maher -
Jacobson and Bailey Keimeg-Gehrke will present on collaborative programming
for multiple generations. Maggie Turza will present on our successful seed library
and related programming.
