- Call to Order – Ganz called the meeting
to order at 7:05 p.m.
- Minutes – The minutes of the meeting
on January 25, 2003, were accepted as written.
- New York State Lobby Day – March 18,
2003 – Ritter handed out several items that were discussed.
(Barbara Nichols Randall was unable to attend but had sent “Talking
Points from the State Library and NYLA,” a draft letter
from the Friends of the Guilderland Public Library, and a “Brief
for the support of Public Libraries” to be distributed to
those in attendance.) Fellows had prepared a draft of a proposed
letter from the LAAC to all the trustees of the UHLS member libraries.
Everyone suggested revisions to this letter, and Fellows is to
prepare a final version to be signed by Ganz and a registration
form that will be mailed by UHLS. After all of the appointments
are made with the local legislators, the schedule will be emailed
to all library directors who will be asked to forward it to all
interested persons. (Copies of these items are attached.)
- County Funding – Ganz reported that he
still had not received any information about the money that is
to be distributed to Albany County libraries.
- Support Letter for Patrons – Because
of the emphasis on Lobby Day, Fellows and LaJuene agreed to postpone
the consideration of this proposed letter until the next meeting.
- Other Issues – None
- Next Meeting – Wednesday, April 9, 2003,
at 7:00 p.m.
