Approved <br />unanimously. <br />Stoffers reported that zigzag shaped book holders were donated by the Anoka <br />County Library -Rum River Branch, which we will use in the juvenile section. These units <br />make it easier and more attractive for young people to search the shelves for books. <br />A new story time presenter has been hired. <br />Stoffers recommended that afree-standing sign be purchased, to be used to <br />announce and advertise presentations. She showed examples. One board member <br />expressed concern about the weight and diameter of the sign's base, to ensure that it <br />would not tip over and injure someone. Anderson made a motion, seconded by Graham, <br />to authorize the librarian to purchase an acrylic poster stand as long as it was returnable <br />in the event that the staff or board believed it to be unstable. Approved unanimously. <br />The Library Board continues to be short of members, who must be residents of <br />Sherburne County.
