The meeting was called to order at 4:00 pm EST by Kristen Smith.  \n2. During the public comment period, Jessica Ives provided feedback on the MRCAC scenarios displayed in the Rotunda. She took issue with the lack of water in the Scenario A image while it is shown in Scenarios B and C. Jessica claims the Library-created materials contain several misstatements.  \n3. The minutes of the October 17, 2024, meeting were approved.  \n4. Kristen Smith introduced Julia Sagaser, CPL’s Programs Director. Julia started her position in October 2022. Her day-to day tasks include all stages of program planning from conception through planning, execution, and post-program follow-up. At any one time, multiple projects are in different phases of development. She also manages all technology required for programs. A lot of Julia’s time is spent conversing with people and cultivating relationships with individuals and other organizations. Publicity is a large part of her role, including the Library website and calendar, creating graphic designs, social media posting, distributing information, and writing press releases. She is responsible for CPL’s social media, YouTube, adult clubs and organizations that meet at CPL. Julia produces the events newsletter, manages Picker Room and Amphitheater (except weddings) rentals, maintains partnerships with other organizations, and manages art exhibits. She also assists Jenni with development activities, works on large events (e.g. Winterfest and Native Plant Sale), and plans various Library Series (e.g. Jump Start January and History Month) .  \n5. Kristy Kilfoyle presented the Director’s report, adding the following:  \na. Kristy Kilfoyle is preparing a Save America’s Treasures grant application.  \nb. The historical engineer was here today to inspect the Library roof. The report will be complete in six weeks. This is the last step in this process of applying for FEMA funds. After the report is provided to FEMA, the budget group will issue a decision.  \nc. A weekend circulation assistant resigned. The position has been advertised and applications received; initial interviews are scheduled.  \nd. Two new library card designs have been finalized. One will have an image of Camden created by Chris Van Dusen, which was gifted to the library by the artist. The other is a painting of CPL by Colin Page. These will be unveiled in a few months when existing stock runs out.  \ne. The annual Millay events will be restarting. Kristy Kilfoyle is working to get J. Courtney Sullivan, author of Maine, as the featured speaker.  \nf. While visiting CPL recently, Michael Komanecky, a former curator at the Farnsworth Art Museum, identified one of the paintings in the Reading Room as “the finest example of Leon Kroll’s work” he’s ever seen. An art expert will be retained to investigate and confirm the work’s provenance, and a new appraisal will be obtained.  \ng. CPL has a quote of $400,000 for repointing the Library building. Kristy Kilfoyle reported that Audra Caler indicated that this was in line with Camden’s recent experience with the Opera House. Kristy noted that Camden owns the building; the town did not file an insurance claim for the last storms.  \n6. Liz Senders reviewed the October 2024 financial statements, adding the following:  \na. CPL received an unsolicited $25,000 donation in October.  \nb. Jenny Parmalee is finalizing the annual Millay appeal.
