Old Business

1. Covid19: We are operating at a much lower capacity due to Covid. Volunteers are using masks, hand sanitizer, and sanitizing wipes on surfaces.
2. There is no pressure for volunteers to come in, but all are willing and, so far, able.
3. Christine has completed training with the new Library Management System, Accessit. She is inputting the books as quickly as possible.
4. Overdues: Our most delinquent patron has returned most of her books. It is suspected that one of the books was returned to the public library in error.

New Business

1. Proposal to apply for the Grant-in-Aid from Town of View Royal. Moved: Christine. Second: Jill. All in favour.
2. We are mourning the loss of longtime volunteer Camilla Smith, who passed on November 13. Her obituary is posted in the library.
3. We need to promote Smile Cards. We have not received any donations from Thrifty's lately. May be due to Covid.
4. We need to have a volunteer drive to fill in shifts, and to increase our list of spares.

Meeting adjourned at 12:55 pm. Next meeting will be Friday, March 19 at 11:30 am.
