B. Presentation of proposed Eagle scout project
Mathew Hamilton discussed his Eagle Scout project with the board. A. Beck
encouraged Mathew to net a commitment from one or more up and coming Eagle
Scouts to center their future Eagle Scout projects around maintaining and improving
the free little libraries so they will continue to be maintained and will not fall into
disrepair. She also cautioned that someone needed to check the boxes daily to
ensure that inappropriate materials are not added to the box. They had a box like
this is Mansfield and had problems with inappropriate materials being placed in the
box repeatedly. J. Huckabee stated that she had the same concerns as A. Beck. G.
Swan asked if the project could be focused on placing a box in only one park rather
than two to make it easier to monitor the box. J. Nevarez stated that FOLKS and
Rotary are contributing monetarily to the project and will also help to monitor and fill
the boxes with books. J. Nevarez also stated that the boxes are a part of the
organization https://Iittlefreelibrary.org. Mathew will contact L. Hoover so he can
approve the locations for the boxes.
