Board of Trustees Building Expansion Meeting October 20, 1999
(prepared by Louise Schaper, Library Director)
Trustees present were M. Thomas, S. Singleton, L. Brewer, M. Goff, M. Roberts, L. Gottsponer.
Staff members present were L. Schaper. Members of the press present were Chantal Rice (NWA
Times), Charlie Allison (MN) and Laura Kellams (AR Dem. Gazette).
M. Thomas called the meeting to order at 4:05 p.m.
1. L. Gottsponer moved and L. Brewer seconded a motion to approve the minutes from
September 20. All voted aye.
2. L. Schaper reviewed the staff progress in developing the space allocation specifications for
library planning consultant Anders Dahlgren. Anders will return with the architect Jeff Scherer
for a two-day visit November 11. and 12. During this visit the space allocations for seating,
public computers, shelving, service points, staff desks, restrooms will be firmed -up. The
biggest challenge is to minimize the number of service points given the size of the building. We
are trying to keep the services points to : circulation, children's, reference, and genealogy. But
this might be impossible given the two floors and expanded service areas. The original
program called for several additional service points, i.e. an information desk, a popular/AV
desk, and a young adult desk. L. Schaper also said that the fundraising consultant, Halsey
North, has been retained and we will be hearing about the schedule sometime soon.
3. S. Singleton moved to adjourn the meeting, M. Goff seconded. All voted aye. The meeting
was adjourned at 4:27 p.m.
