old Business:
Mary listed all the places she advertised the Doug ohman author visit on Monday, April 9, 2012. Board members were
asked to bring along extra folding chairs, should they be needed. Mary will be returning that day from vacation and will
hopefully make it back in time for the presentation. If she doesn't, backups for preparations have been assigned to board
members.
The MN History Center's "Happy Days Are Here Again" musical program is scheduled for June 181h at Music in the Park at
7pm. Friends of the Library will be serving refreshments and may need some assistance from board members. Mary C.
made the suggestion that pie & ice cream are popular. Other possibilities could be root beer floats, brownies, and
cookies.
The bus trip to Fort Snelling has been cancelled because of all the other activities being planned.
The Laura Ingalls Wilder Pageant bus trip is still planned for Saturday, July 7. There will be 2 buses from the county
making the trip. We will be sharing a bus with Winsted. .
We will be having a fundraiser at the Hutchinson Country Kitchen restaurant on April 16th from 5pm-9pm and will receive
20% of total purchases. We have the OK from Matt at Country Kitchen to set out a jar for additional donations that
patrons may want to make.
Roger Vacek and Stacey Nass have been reappointed to the Hutchinson Library Board by the city.
Bev Wangerin's retirement from the McLeod County Commissioners was brought up again. We would like to give her a
thank you gift for her many years of support for our library. A couple of suggestions made were a copy of the book
"Harps in the Wind" — a book about the Hutchinson brothers or a copy of Doug Ohman's book "The Libraries of MN".
Mary updates us on her work at the Winsted Library. She is still working about 2 hours a week on Winsted with one
physical visit a month. She feels they are making progress on working to get their budget under control.
New Business:
Roger Vacek mentioned there will be a PLS quarterly meeting the 3rd Thursday in April.
Abby has been asked to send out a reminder for board members about the author visit while Mary is on vacation.
Roger Vacek made a motion that the meeting be adjourned. Stacey Nass seconded the motion. Meeting adjourned.
