Also present were Mrs. Clara Mounce, Community Librarian; Mrs. Laura Mills, Secretary; and David Gerling of the City of College Station. 3. The meeting was called to order at 5:15 p.m. by President Larry Ringer.. 4. The minutes of the meeting for September 19, 2006 were approved as distributed. 5. The monthly stats for September and October 2006 showed increases in statistics in part due to checkouts of DVDs and computer use. 6. In old business, David Gerling reported he conferred with the Planning and Development Department of the City of College Station and also with Bill Hiddell, the architect who designed the Larry Ringer Library. He presented a layout of the existing Larry Ringer Library and nearby grounds. The Board discussed options for expansion, the parking lots, Fitch Park and ideas for incorporating the old with the new. A second floor of the building is not feasible since it would require additional staff to maintain. David reported that a planner can do renderings of possible designs. Dr. Bradford commented that it may be necessary to get State approval to use Fitch Park for dual parking use. Mary Fran Troy asked about the possibility of building an amphitheatre on the grounds of the park which could also be used by the Library for outdoor programs. Mr. Ringer posed the question to the Board three possibilities for supporting the expansion of library service; add on to the existing building, build a new building, or buy a building. He commented that there is a better chance of getting needed funds for adding on to an existing building rather than buy or build a facility. Clara Mounce stated the next step will be to contact Bill Hiddell about the possibility of expanding the library an additional 10,000 sq. ft. The Board also discussed making an appointment with the City Manager to discuss expansion plans. B. In other old business, Mrs. Mounce stated the Library policies had been sent to Joey Dunn for review. After that the City of Bryan Legal depaitiiient will review and the next step will be a Council Action form for approval from the Bryan City Council. 7. In new business, Mr. Ringer received a letter from Ross Albricht about a public hearing on November 27 and charrette for the new cemetery in College Station which will also host an Aggie Field of Honor, 8. In the librarian's report, Mrs. Mounce reported the Andrew Carnegie sculpture/bench is being made which will be placed in the Carnegie Gardens. She stated that the libraries had received distributions from the Doak Estate in the amount of$16,500 for both Bryan and Larry Ringer Libraries. Eugene Edge donated $5,000 to the Carnegie and $1,000 to the Friends of the Library. Ergonomic issues at the Larry Ringer Library check-out desk is being studied. The Board extended a word of appreciation to Jennifer Bohac for her service on the Library Board for two years. 9. The next meeting is scheduled for January 16, 2007 at the Larry Ringer Library.

I didn't realize that the meeting was at 5:30. and I need to pick up my daughter after work because my wife will be tied up. Did we decide that at January's meeting?

So far I've heard from fivemnennbaro. on|ythneeof whom will be in attendance. Please let me know as soon as possible if you'll be there so that I will know if we will have a quorum. Thank you!

There was some discussion regarding that today and I had completely forgotten, so I'm sure that may be the case for some of the others as well. Alas, I will be there. Thanks,Jodi Blessings!
