   1.

   Regular meeting day(s):We thought that we could have two volunteer
   meetings a month, especially for some people that are not able to come to
   one meeting. Fixed meeting dates may be easier to plan around, will save
   emails flooding inboxes, and will save a lot of planning and phone calls
   each month trying to find a good meeting time.

   Meetings on the first Monday of each month at 12:30pm and the third
   Thursday at 6:30pm. Passed.

   *Our next volunteer meetings will be on Monday, Feb. 7th at 12:30pm and
   Thursday, Feb. 17th at 6:30pm.*

   Meeting notes and decisions made at the meetings will be sent out to the
   listserv. If there are any objections to decisions made at a meeting, we
   thought it would be good to have a certain amount of time for voicing
   concerns, and if there are no objections, move forward. *Two days
   timespan for voicing concerns was passed.*
   2.

   How to set agenda items: Who is bottomlining open hours will be decided
   during the first meeting of the month who is bottomlining for the following
   month. Passed.

   Planning for events for the following month should be open to both
   meetings (for example, both Feb. meetings are open for planning March
   events). Passed.
   3.

   Procedure meeting:* *brainstorm ideas for a mission statement and
   foundational things about the library that weren't completely finished when
   the library reopened. *Procedure meeting will be Monday, January 17th at
   6:30pm.*
   4.

   Shelving: the open area has been measured for building our new shelves.
   $100 budget for new shelves. Passed.
   5.

   Budgeting: Ellen will bottomline keeping track of Flying Brick
   expenditures on a spreadsheet and talking to Robert about opening up a house
   fund bank account for the library.

   on full reimbursement.
   6.

   29th from 7-10pm. *Passed.
   7.

   Incomplete tasks from last meeting: Jen is still on the lookout for a
   coffee urn. She will also talk to Jeff Wayside Center facilitation and
   consensus items.
   8.

   MLP speak out event: *speak out/potluck/benefit on February 19th, potluck
   at 6pm, event starts at 7pm.* Passed.
   9.

   Lips release: was originally scheduled for Valentine's Day. Agenda item
   is shelved until more information is gathered about the event.

   Tshirts: Setting a budget for getting bulk blank t-shirts so that we can
   have Flying Brick t-shirts to sell. Shelved to the next meeting.
   11.

   Friends of AK Press/PM Press, etc: these shelved to next meeting until we
   have the expenditure spreadsheet together. Ramey will bottomline getting
   ahold of AK Press to see about getting Friends of AK Press discount for the
   library.
   12.

   Flying Brick endorsements: Flying Brick endorsement of VPA: Passed
   (Nathan said in the past that he will contact them). Flying Brick
   endorsement of Burial Ground actions: Passed. If people are interested in
   getting involved in burial ground actions, contact Nathan.

   International Sex Worker Rights Awareness day: (March 3rd?)-Ramey and Mo
   will bottomline researching past events.
   14.

   16.

   Permanent agenda item for every meeting: Reading the previous meeting
   notes at the beginning of each meeting. Passed.

   Eating disorder awareness week: (last week of February) Need additional
   speakers, especially those that have experienced eating disorders firsthand,
   find good documentary to show, decide a date. Of those present, Matt, Ramey,
   Mallory, and Megan are interested in helping to plan the event. *Event
   tentatively scheduled at the Library for Thursday Feb. 24 during open hours.
   * Passed.

   *Planning meeting for the event on 1/22 at 11am.* Preference for where we
