MINUTES-LIBRARY BOARD
OCTOBER 27, 2010

The Franklin Parish Library Board met in a regular noon meeting on October 27, 2010. Luella Snyder, Library Board President, opened the meeting with board members Addie Bolton, Bill Marionneaux and John Guice present. Ms. Jeannette Thompson was absent.
Mrs. Bolton led in prayer. Mr. Guice moved that the minutes of the last board meeting be approved as published. Dr. Marionneaux seconded the motion and all were in favor.
Library Director, Carolyn Flint, gave the statistical reports for the third quarter of 2010. Circulation was down for the quarter. The financial report was given and the financial status of the library is good. However, it is necessary to amend the 2010 budget to cover building repairs. Mr. Guice moved that sufficient funds to cover the needed repairs be moved from the personnel section of the budget to maintenance in the operating section of the budget. Dr. Marionneaux seconded the motion and all were in favor. Ms. Flint also reported on the good attendance by adults, young adults and children to library programs.
Under new business the Board discussed the 2011 proposed budget. Because of uncertainty about state aid for 2011, the proposed budget is a little smaller than the 2010 budget. The projected income for 2011 is $495,300. In lieu of raises for 2011, Mr. Guice moved that the staff members be given their birthday as a holiday. Dr. Marionneaux seconded the motion and all were in favor. The budget hearing was set for noon on December 3, 2010.
