A quorum was present: President Kathy Sanders; Vice-President Nancy Tompkins; Secretary/Treasurer Cindy White; members Cameron Duvall, Kasi Aldridge, and Linda Surber. Absent: members Alice Barbour, Jacqueline Henry, and Jennie Randolph. Library director Shannon Midyett, assistant director Belinda Birrer, and counsel Scott Robbins attended.  \nDisclosure of Conflict of Interest: None.  \nOpen for Public Discussion: No members of the public addressed the Board during public discussion.  \nFY24 Annual Financial Audit: Sasha Cureton from Beussink, Hey, Roe, and Stroder, P.C. reported on the FY24 Audit for the Poplar Bluff Library. Cureton reported the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the respective modified cash basis financial position of the governmental activities, the general fund, and the Library Foundation Fund of the Poplar Bluff Municipal Library District.  \nMotion to approve the FY24 Financial Audit as presented was made by Cindy White and seconded by Nancy Tompkins. The motion was carried by unanimous voice vote.  \nConsent Agenda:  \n● Minutes submitted for the March 3 meeting.  \n● Circulation Report: Shannon Midyett presented the circulation report. She highlighted:  \n○ Circulation of physical items shows a 10% decline at Main Branch, but an increase across digital platforms. This trend is typical of libraries across the nations as users are switching to digital, on-demand platforms.  \n○ New library cards are showing a 28% increase. A significant decline in library card renewals was noted. Midyett reminded the board this can  \nbe attributed to the cyclical nature of renewals because library cards only need to be renewed every three years.  \n● Library Financials: Shannon Midyett presented financial information.  \n○ Library Total Equity as of 4/8/2025: $1,963,646  \n■ $1,001,972-Reserves  \n■ $961,674-Unassigned  \n○ Total Revenue FY2025- $601,083  \n■ Revenues are reporting 9% over budget  \n○ Total Expenses FY2025- $469,912  \n■ Expenses are in line with the budget with the exception of the  \n360. Marketing line containing annual/multiyear outlay for publications in preparation for school visits and outreach commitments  \n○ FY2025 Revenue Over Expenses is $131, 172  \n● Director’s Report: Shannon Midyett presented the director’s report. She highlighted:  \n○ An email from Haven House administration about the impact they are seeing from the library’s outreach efforts with their clients.  \n○ CE Norton quoted the cost of Ridgel Branch repairs to be approximately $55, 250. The Library has filed a claim with MOPERM and the insurance deductible is $10,000. The Friends of the Library has committed $2,000 to help with those costs.  \nMotion to approve the Consent Agenda as presented was made by Cameron Duvall and seconded by Linda Surber. The motion was carried by unanimous voice vote.  \nPresident’s Report: No president’s report was made.  \nDiscussion Items  \n● Missouri Legislative Update: Shannon Midyett presented information on the state and federal legislation and executive orders that are impacting libraries.  \n○ In Missouri, SB276 was voted “do pass” in committee.  \n○ At the federal level, the “Continuing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy” executive order issued on March 14, 2025 listed the  \nInstitute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) as an agency to be eliminated “to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law.”I MLS is the federal agency tasked with distributing congressionally appropriated funds to state libraries, which are in turn used to fund statewide library initiatives and provide grants to libraries. On Monday, March 31, 2025, all I MLS staff were placed on a 90-day paid administrative leave. The Missouri State Library sent an email notifying libraries that based on this action all LSTA grant payments were paused u","cbCaiuc2ehE8xX6F","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuc2ehE8xX6F","pdf",142747,"English","# Call to Order and Attendance\n## Disclosure of Conflict of Interest\n## Public Discussion Status\n# FY24 Annual Financial Audit\n# Consent Agenda\n## Minutes from March 3\n## Circulation Report\n## Library Financials\n## Director’s Report\n# Discussion Items\n## Missouri Legislative Update\n## Board Applications\n# Action Items\n## Annual Report\n## Bookkeeper Agreement\n## Library Investments","[{\"question\":\"Who attended the April 7, 2025 library board meeting and was a quorum present?\",\"answer\":\"The meeting included President Kathy Sanders, Vice-President Nancy Tompkins, Secretary/Treasurer Cindy White, members Cameron Duvall, Kasi Aldridge, and Linda Surber, and the library director and assistant director.
