A recommendation was given from the Library Board to bring this to the City Council Mtg. A motion and second was made to approve this next step. Sue Bergstrom spoke next regarding a grant that has been awarded for a Bee and Butterfly garden. Its main purpose would be to increase public awareness of the need and importance of bees, pollinators and other related topics. It would be approximately 15x20, located south of the parking lot, in the shape of a butterfly. The grant would cover all expenses, library would just need to supply water in the beginning until the plants/flowers are established. A motion and second was made to approve this project. Bill gave us a building update. All resin panels and glass have been instnlled. The porch project will be reviewed once all bills nre paid.

We asked Jann about the self-checkout system. 6RRL has received the check so it is progressing. Librarian's Report Mick has looked further into having aFlag/pole erected in front of the building. We went over prices and sizes, we decided it should be the same as City Hall. The artwork will be picked up at the end of March. Mick is looking into hanging options. Friends of the Library bought a DVD player and 4 new scanners for the front desk. The tables in the community room are warping, the company is replacing aU of the table tops in March.
