The meeting was held in Fairhope Public Library's upstairs conference room and was called to
order at 5:35 p.m. by Martin Lanaux. Others in attendance were Cecil Christenberry, Freeda
Ward, Molly Peterson, Councilman Dan Stankowski, and Tamara Dean -Library Director. The
minutes from the September meeting were still pending submission from Carson.
Reports:
Library director, Tamara Dean, gave a review of the Library employee and statistical reports.
After review by those present, those two reports were accepted as presented . The financial
report was not yet finalized by the library's bookkeeper, therefore, it was not reviewed at the
meeting. The Library Director indicated that it would be finalized in the next couple of days and
would be emailed to all board members for review.
Business:
Tamara presented a proposed Holiday schedule for the library's new year. After review, the
schedule was approved by the board as presented.
A request had been made to install a rain cistern and rainwater collection system on the
library's campus as a public viewing and demonstration facility. After some discussion and
suggestions for alternative sites in the city were offered, the board voted to deny the request.
The status of the Personnel Manual was discussed. Resolution and progress is pending due to
the change in City leadership. This matter will be reviewed again next month.
Martin noted that author Alexander McCall Smith would be speaking and signing his latest
book on October 29th, 6-8 p.m. on the Faulkner Campus in Fairhope. Tickets are available for
$38.00. A portion of the event's proceeds will benefit the Library Foundation.
With no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at 6:10 p.m.
