Janet Eisenhauer was re-elected to serve as president of the Coplay Library Board at the board's Jan. 9 meeting.

During the meeting, the board also approved Faye Schreiner as vice president, Jane Gillespie as secretary and Mel Procanyn to serve as treasurer.

Appointed as library director was Sharon Dougherty.

Board member Charlie Sodl reminded Dougherty she is responsible for both hiring employees and ensuring that hours worked do not exceed funding available for salaries.

"The key is, we only have so much to spend on the library; we have to stick to that number," Sodl said.

Gillespie also announced Coplay Sports, Inc. calendars are currently available for sale.

Proceeds of the sales will go to fund the library fundraiser.

The next library board meeting will be held 7 p.m. Feb. 13 in the borough municipal complex, Fourth and Center streets.

Also at the meeting, library employee Nancy Adams said she wants the community to know she is grateful for the generosity of a local donor.

Recently, an anonymous citizen donated $10 gift cards to the library, she said.

Adams said the library will be donating the gift cards to the Pediatric Cancer Foundation of the Lehigh Valley.

"Our most heartfelt thanks," she said. "It was very touching. I just think that generosity just makes you feel more generous."

In other business, Eisenhauer announced eight security cameras arrived that will be used for library operations.

She said before they are installed and used, the board must draft a policy regarding their use.

The cameras will be linked into the Coplay Police Department headquarters, Eisenhauer said.

"There are a lot of things we have to do before it gets hooked up," she said.

Board Solicitor Jack Stover said he does not foresee any legal issues with the installation and use of the cameras as long as library patron and employee information are not disclosed.

Stover also noted, before the board makes use of the extra rooms located in the basement of the library, it should ensure they are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements.

Stover suggested the borough zoning and code officer evaluate whether the rooms are ADA-compliant before proceeding with their use.
