    • The flyer is complete:

      • One thousand were ordered. 

        • Matt plans to order a total of 5,000.
        • He was waiting to see if the design might change a little with feedback

          • He has already received some.
  • Ellis Library Room 114 discussion.

    • The room was currently being prepared for student use again.

      • Carpet has been replaced.
      • Previously used tables and chairs are being returned.
    • Revisiting where the Student Fee Working Group was on a subcommittee related to this space:

      • There was previous discussion about using part of this room to showcase (have visual displays) of furniture and workstations possible if the fee passed.
      • Was going to seek feedback from students about specific topics.  
    • After discussion it was established that a subcommittee from this team was called together to think about 114 and how part of it might work with the fee promotion.

      • Members:

        • Nav Khanal
        • Kimberly Moeller
        • Mike Muchow
        • Grace Adkins
        • Bryce McDonald (was added at this current meeting)
      • The subcommittee will meet soon to work out how room 114 could be used to share visions of the room/space.

        • Posters.
        • Furniture samples.
        • Some sort of digital representations.
  • The subcommittee is hoping to interface soon with Cyndi Curnutte from Campus Facilities.

    • To talk to vendors for sample products.
    • To possibly gain access to any design images or programs that Campus Facilities has on file that the Libraries could use to create visual products.
  • Actions:

    • Ann Riley said that she would email Cyndi to see if this group can work with her or someone from her department in the very near future.
    • She also said she would copy Dr. Bimal Balakrishnan, of MU Architectural studies, with whom the Libraries had also discussed space.
  • “I’m In” website:

    • The Working Group discussed making the web page for the Library Fee consistent or at least aligned with the very new flyer design.
  •  The Student Fee Working Group went down to inspect the progress in Room 114.

    • The old periodical reading room shelves were removed.
    • The old chairs and table were replaced.
    • The presentation room will be an attractive programing/meeting space when finished.

      • Possible table/chair configurations were discussed.
