Jim,

Sorry to not get back to you sooner! I've been off on a vacation in 
Montana and we've been looking at buying the building next door, so I've 
been busy.

The board is hesitant to add a phone jack downstairs that is associated 
with our line. Since we get a certain number of long distance minutes 
and then have to pay, they feel it would be cumbersome to have to comb 
through our monthly bill, find the numbers you called and invoice the 
society for the associated costs. They told me to present you with two 
options:

 1. A separate phone line that runs into the Derleth Room. The ADS would
    receive and take care of the bills and the library wouldn't use the
    line for any reason. The ADS would also be responsible for fees
    associated with the installation of the line.
 2. The addition of a second router in the basement that would allow the
    ADS to use Skype (or a service like it) to make VOIP calls or video
    connections. The cost of a router is about $900 and yearly support
    would be $200. There would not be a monthly charge for Internet use.
    We could look into splitting up the support cost as the library
    would benefit from a stronger signal in the basement.

Let me know which option the ADS would care to pursue. The board tabled 
any action on the matter until we hear back from you as to how you would 
like to proceed.
