Amy Eggler reported that the Community Celebration is back in the planning phase; with a tentative date set for June 16, 2p18. Fred Gurney had a meeting with City staff. Rebecca Martin will be the main persan coordinating the event. Staff is currently looking at holding a full-day event with activities being held in both the park and Highlands library. KCLS will help with funding event along with a possible contribution from "Friends of the Library". There are also plans to include food trucks as part of the event. Maryjane Van Cleave added that the event will be held in the immediate vicinity of the library, but it is yet to be determined whether they will be able to use turf areas. This depends on grass and how well the seed takes; so there are still questions on turf use and where the celebration will be held. The area is large enough to have the event on hard surface if necessary. The staff will keep the board updated as the time nears. A short discussion followed pertaining ta the "Friends of the Library" and the board members indicated that it would be a gaod idea to farmally invite this committee to one af the RtAB meetings after the first of the year. Amy Eggler added that a presentation on "Callection Development and How KCLS Does/t"might be a good presentation ta have at this meeting. VI1. OLD BUSINESS Maryjane called to reserve a room for the goal-planning meeting; the Red House is supposed to call back this week with the rates. The board members present stated that they wauld prefer to hold the meeting on Saturday,January 20 since January 13 is a holiday weekend (Martin Luther King Holiday). Maryjane will send out a meeting invitatian through Microsoft Outlook once all details are final. Kim Unti requested that the board members be thinking about goals for the upcoming retreat.

"Free Library" (Mobile) Library at Renton Community Center(RCCj: Maryjane Van Cleave provided photographs of the RCC showing a possible location for the free library setup. Maryjane also mentioned that the mobile unit used for summer library services at the pool cauld be utilized in this area so that RCC staff could move the library when not in use or for special events that may be happening at the facility. The unit is built to look sort of like a little house and it cauld be placed across from the front desk staff. Maryjane will check with Aquatics Staff to determine programming needs and find out if we could use it during off seasons or the possibility of obtaining a second mobile unit.

BOARD UPDATES AND PROGRESS Lynne King stated that she attended the KCLS Library Board Forum recently. There were 3 people in attendance from Bellevue and 1 from Mercer Island. Not too many peaple showed at the meeting; however the one common issue among those attending was that the city library boards are struggling with what to do for goals and what their purpose is (where the committee is going in the future). Another topic discussed at the forum was City Council presentations and determining good elements of what boards present ta their City Councils. Lynne felt that the RLAB does a good job of presenting to the Council for their annual report. Lynne said those attending the forum also questioned whether they should continue to have the farums if attendance is so low. The group still thought the meetings were useful even though they are not well attended. The graup discussed the possibility of having a bigger graup meeting at the KC�S Service Center instead of a library location. Kim Unit asked if Lynne learned anything at the forum about what other�ibrary Boards are doing. Lynne mentioned that they are changing the law to add two new members to the Board of Trustees for KCLS. Amy Eggler added that KCLS hopes to broaden their representation to have more insight and diversity among the Board of Trustees. X.
