Action Items:
The board took a look at the current marketing plan for the Copperas Cove Library. As per Kevin Marsh, the library will soon have it's own Facebook site. Part of the marketing plan is to use Facebook site to get the word out about the different programs offered there. Some of the programs offered are different kinds of clubs, Ebooks, study rooms, and even a 3D printer. The Copperas Cove High School DECA club, led by Charlotte Heinze, volunteered their services to help with developing a social media strategy.

The Summer Reading Program takes place at the library from June through August. The plan for the teen program is limited to 25 teens with the theme of "Mythology and Fantasy". This allows children to stay in the books during the summer time when there are no classes. Right now it is planned for Wednesdays (Hero Camp) and will last 1 1/2 hours. The board approved his proposal.

Here is the Librarian's Monthy Report:
Mr Marsh informed the board that the door counter is malfunctioning so the number of visitors to the library are not correct but actually much higher.

The next Library Advisory Board will be on January 14, at 4pm.
