Library marks 40th year, rotating exhibits and programs; commission approves Oct. 24 minutes
Summary
Library staff reported a 40th-anniversary program year, increased creation-lab attendance and several rotating exhibits across town facilities. The Cultural Arts Commission approved the Oct. 24 minutes by voice vote during the consent agenda.
The Flower Mound library staff told the Cultural Arts Commission on Jan. 23 that the library is in its 40th anniversary year and plans a June kickoff event, a bookmark contest later this year and an "art party" in November featuring winners from multiple age groups.
"We're in our 40th year for our anniversary, so we have a bunch of upcoming stuff," Rachel (library staff) said. Library staff also reported that visits to the creation lab have doubled or tripled in the last year and that a new staff member added in October has supported expanded hands-on programs.
Members also heard updates on rotating public-art and exhibition displays: a town-hall art wall curated by Murthy, a community-contributed photography show at the library (Deborah Kimbog), a local illustrator's children's book project (Rebecca Jones), and a three-dimensional "Welcome to the Dollhouse" installation by Jamie Jaco Cooper, who the meeting identified as the senior-center manager.
Staff gave a public-art update noting the traffic-signal-box art project and that the town is finalizing artist-call specifications. The staff presentation also noted past winners and said the program will move forward in 2025.
On the consent agenda, commissioners voted to approve the minutes of the Oct. 24 meeting. The motion to approve the Oct. 24 minutes passed by roll call; recorded votes were Member Dilly (aye), Member Amsterdam (aye), Member Brandon (aye), Member Mantha (aye) and Member Jones (aye). The clerk announced the motion passed.
Provenance: Library and exhibits reporting began with staff director reports early in the meeting and the consent vote appears on the consent agenda later in the meeting transcript.
