Elk River Public Library Board Page 4 <br />July 27th, 2021 <br />5.Cork floor in the teen area may eventually need to be replaced but <br />not a hazard now. Will be a building maintenance issue for the <br />Public Works Direction in the future. <br />6. Shelving to be replaced as needed if it can't be braced <br />Moved by Commissioner Keifenheim and seconded by Commissioner Blaske to <br />prioritize the CIP items stated above. Motion carried 5-0. <br />d. Discuss library promotion ideas. <br />■ Chair Dreissig passed out the bookmarks to the board that were <br />presented to the City Council and asked if the Board would be <br />interested in passing something like it out to the community. <br />Financing for promotional materials was discussed. Ms. Schake <br />explained that when patrons donate to locally grown fundraising <br />campaigns GRRL decides ahead of time how the money will be <br />spent, and that information is included in the fundraising process. <br />Ms. Schake explained that if the Elk River Library Board decided to <br />do some marketing or promotions on their own, they would have to <br />find a source for funding other than a GRRL fundraiser or do it <br />without capital outlay. <br />• Commissioner Boelter liked the idea of being out and about at <br />community events to help promote the library. The Board suggested <br />attending events such as Elk RiverFest, the farmers market, sharing <br />things on Facebook page, and attending events held at the library. <br />Ms. Schake reminded the board that it is a City of Elk River board, <br />not a Great River Regional Library Board. The Board members can <br />volunteer at city events as Library Board members and a quorum <br />would need to be posted if more than 2 attended anything together. <br />Karen Wingard is the Special Events Coordinator that oversees <br />events for the city and the Board would be able to contact her <br />regarding setting up a booth. Commissioner Keifenheim and Chair <br />Dreissig said they would be willing to attend events to promote the <br />library. Council member Christianson also reminded the Board that <br />members of the community are welcome to come to open forum to <br />share their thoughts as well. <br />■ It was agreed upon by the Board to table the subject until the <br />October meeting and discuss potential ideas of promotion for 2022. <br />Chair Dreissig asked if the library could promote its activities in the <br />Senior Activity Newsletter. Ms. Schake said that would be up to the <br />city but that the newsletter is for activities for at the Senior Center. <br />5.2 Old Business <br />a.
