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.
