• 4. The previous meeting minutes of November 2012 were discussed and approved as distributed.
5. The monthly stats for November and December 2012 were reviewed. Dr.Koeninger commented on
the changes that the Texas State Library is making for annual reports. Stats for adult and juvenile e-
media are requested,but our e-audiobook vendor only provides one monthly checkout total. Wireless
internet use is also another statistic that the Texas State Library would like to have; however since
wireless internet usage includes smart phone and tablet and other media use near the building, it is
inaccurate to report these as library usage.
6.A. In old business,Larry Koeninger showed the board the proposed architect renderings for the second
floor remodel. He will send these in an e-mail attachment to each board member. The ideal time for a
remodel is in December and January,when storytime is not in session and before the tax help season
begins in February. Summer is reserved for the reading programs and activities.
7. In new business,Diane Rektorik nominated Larry Ringer as candidate for president; seconded by
Edith Pequeno,the motion carried unanimously. Mrs.Pequeno accepted the position of vice-president.
8. Dr.Koeninger's librarian's report is attached.
9. Next meeting will be March 19,2013 at the Carnegie History Center. Dr.Hellriegel requested that an
agenda item be added to the next meeting. The item will be for the Board to discuss a proposal to the
City of College Station to move ahead with what the voters approved for the Ringer Expansion or to
consider a two phase expansion project.
10. The meeting adjourned at 6:15pm.
