JLAB Meeting Minutes November 2014



JLAB Meeting Minutes                      11-13-14

The meeting began shortly after 6 p.m. in the Children’s Room.
7 members were present: Annie, Gloria, Ginny, Jeana, Kaitlyn, Taylor, Gracie, plus Heather and Jesse.
We began by discussing what our group does and what projects our group has worked on so far.  Each member was given a notebook in order to take notes during the meeting and to write down their ideas to bring along with them to the next meeting.
We discussed ideas for upcoming projects:
·         Create a display of a turkey using book pages to make the feathers.
·         Turkey coloring pages for the children.
·         Help with puppet shows and plays for the younger children.
·         Create a YouTube video where children pretend like they are running the library.
·         Mystery book display for Christmas with books wrapped in wrapping paper.
Heather suggested that the group consider decorating a tree for the FOL Christmas Tree Open House, the group agreed.
·         It was suggested that the group make ornaments at the Tween/Teen Friday’s program on Dec. 5 and then decorate the tree.
·         It was also suggested that the group could make paper chains for the tree.
·         It was also suggested that maybe the group could make a book tree in the main reading room.
Jesse suggested that the group create a JLAB’s Favorite Books display, similar to the display created by the Librarian’s in the Reading Room.  Heather will clear off a shelf in the Children’s Room.
A JLAB Christmas Party was discussed and planned for December 18th from 5-7 p.m. It was suggested that we do the waffle cone Christmas tree decorating like we did last year.  We will also have snacks, plays games, and possibly have a craft.
We chose a winner for the pumpkin contest: Amanda Henry.
