FLF Agenda Reports for February, 2022
These reports are in lieu of a February meeting. Next regular meeting will be March 23, 2022 at 4:30 pm in the Felton Library Community Room.
Ad Hoc Library Improvements Team: Diane, Michele, Nancy
The ad hoc team compiled ideas for improvements from library senior and branch staff and the community. The compilation is here. Please add any other ideas you might have.
The team then met with library staff on January 12 to begin to plan for improvements, focusing on lighting needs in the Teen and Community Rooms. Read the meeting notes here.
We engaged a lighting consultant at $85/hour to recommend lighting improvements in the Teen and Community Rooms. New brighter bulbs in the white hanging fixtures in the Community Room are already a huge improvement. See notes here. The team will meet with library staff on March 2 to discuss next steps.

Park Team: Nancy
The Park team met Feb. 5 and groomed the beds. It’s clear we’ll have plenty to do every first Saturday of the month!
FLF is collaborating with Jay Ryan, an intern at Coastal Watershed, in removing invasives (blackberry, thistle, broom, etc.) from Bull Creek April 9th from 9-1. Jay is in charge of the project and hopes for 30 volunteers that day. FLF will be providing refreshments. He will be reaching out to the SLV community soon for volunteers. Save the date and tell your friends. If you would like to help organize refreshments, contact Nancy Gerdt.
Communications Team: Valerie
We’ve had success reaching out to the SLV School District regarding the library’s Homework Help program for students–principals have released information via parent newsletters, the district is posting the flier on the district community info webpage, and the SLVE Bobcat Club (parent club) is posting details on their Facebook page and will share info at their next meeting. Funds may be needed for printing hardcopies of the fliers for distribution to schools.
Moana and Val will meet later this month to share process details regarding monthly generation of the FLF newsletter in MailChimp (to ensure we have backup, if needed).
Events Team: Diane/Michele
Diane assembled and delivered a lovely Valentine’s treat basket for staff.
We will send an email to donors on February 22, celebrating the second birthday of the library and park and inviting them to a meeting with Library Director Wilburn.
