Kanab library board to seek school-district help funding summer reading; Calli Kelly to meet superintendent
Summary
The Kanab City Library Board discussed partnering with the school district to fund the summer reading program and agreed that board member Calli Kelly will meet Superintendent Dalton to clarify how much the district will contribute and how invoicing would work.
Board members at the Feb. 4 meeting discussed plans to solicit school-district support for the library's summer reading program and assigned a follow-up meeting to clarify funding logistics.
Board member Calli Kelly said she will meet with Superintendent Dalton to determine how much the district is willing to contribute and how the district prefers funds to be handled. The board debated whether the school district should directly purchase prizes or whether the library should prepare an invoice and buy items itself; no final decision was recorded in the minutes.
The board outlined a proposed approach: distribute age-appropriate books to children upon program sign-up and use larger items — such as Kindles, games, outdoor-activity prizes, bikes or scooters — as raffle prizes awarded weekly for meeting reading goals. The board planned to meet again after the next regular meeting to finalize a list of prizes and to determine invoice timing.
No formal motion or vote on accepting district funds was recorded in the minutes; the item remains a planned follow-up with Calli Kelly and library staff expected to report back.
