Branch Manager's Report: Diane Cutler

" Announced that the Cascade Library is now an official polling location.
" Distributed the KDL E-mail Newsletter
" Announced the Volunteer Recognition Tea will be held May 5 from 4 to 6.
" Announced that the EGR library will be closed for the week of May 2 through May 6. Cascade will be handling their calls and holds for the week.
" CAS staff is moving the collection to accommodate the decisions made at the April 18th meeting.
On Saturday April 30, 2005, there was a bomb threat that caused library staff to evacuate the library. The sheriff's department responded quickly and located the perpetrator.

Friend's Report: Deb Straub

" There were 75 attendees at the Spring Luncheon. Ron Goodyke spoke about the fund raising efforts of the community for the library expansion. Diane and Laura presented the plans for the expansion.
" There will be a collectable book sale on May 7, 2005. Past collectable sales have been very profitable.
" The perpetual sale continues to generate $1500 to $1600/ month on a linear space of 100 feet.

Building Committee Report: Chuck reviewed the plans for the media equipment for the expansion. It will be possible to program the lighting for the various meetings to be held during the day and evening so it adjusts automatically for each event. There will be T.V. monitors at each entry to inform the public of the schedule of the day's events.

Campaign Finance Committee: Chuck informed us that there were many requests in the works. Diane presented sample tiles that could be sold to donors. There are attractive and could have the donors name inscribed. They could potentially sold for $50, $100, and $200. The tiles could be displayed in the lobby on the new expansion. The group discussed the logistics of naming the various boards on stacks of tiles. The group also discussed the potential artwork that could be offered for donations.

It was decided that meeting notices would e-mailed in advance.
No further discussions.

Chuck thanked everyone for attending.

Next Meeting:
The next Cascade Township Library Advisory Board Meeting will be held on Monday, June 6, 2005 at 7:00 p.m. in the Library's Program Room.

Meeting adjourned at 8:30 p.m.
