Rick Krumwiede, Director of OWLS, urged the library board to begin work on comprehensive planning for the library. Three questions to keep in mind are 1.) Where are we now? 2.) Where do we want to go? and 3.) How are we going to get there? A planning committee should be established. Committee members would be comprised of (2) members of the Trustees, (2) staff personnel and (2) Friends of the Library. The Library Board will have ultimate authority. This will be discussed at future meetings, to give the Board time to read Rick's proposal.
The meeting was adjourned at 4:45 p.m. on motion by Bev Kersten, seconded by Dick Koeppen.
